Why? I’m going to have a smooth slightly moving wallpaper on the lockscreen to make it a bit more dynamic
I’ve been on reddit for a year, and i still don’t know how to post links in comment, please teach me how.
I have it on lockscreen (not the Marvel one but one of the preinstalled ones) and it does nothing to battery life, but is nice to see when screen turns on for notification and such.
This is for [Non-MIUI 11 users I suppose.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/dygpoa/putting_the_new_feature_to_set_videos_as_live/f81m0d7?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)
I’ve got no gifs to try it out.
What phone are you using?
It will totally worth it. Shut up and take my %15.
Same boat, but we’re close, you can jump to the beta of it if needed, but there’s not too much reason to at this point.
Still no updates available. Sad.
With great power comes great battery consumption.
No, the starship launch is better: https://imgur.com/a/SndkLPq
India and you?
Make a guide please! Looks amazing.
No problem mate. 🙂
Wtf ?! I just got that for 42 day xdd
🙂
[For anyone who’s asking for the Marvel intro.](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dIFATFMhFaa5kEQ1Yqc033ZTaCsxhtNP/view?usp=drivesdk)
No mention. 🙂
Provide the link for the video man..
I wasn’t aware of this. Thanks mate
Does It drain battery 🤔
Thanks so much
Fuck me, my bad.
God bless <3
Copy the url and paste it in the comment
Germany, guess I’ll have to wait for the global or EU update
For now I have shower rat – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fblay5r1r9s
I don’t know how to to Post the link on the comments.
There are few apps. Search it in play store.
🙁
I am using the reddit boost app on redmi note 8. You can download gifs that have been shot vertically in .m4v format and use them for animated wallpapers. Though be careful the is a sub called verticalgifs that is very NSFW.
i downloaded one plus pack but when apply the homescreen and block screen turns black and dont work the wallpaper i have a redmi note 5 with miui 11
Just installed it 😀 Thanks!
And i was trying to say, now this is a built-in feature in MiUI, without using any external apps. Can you set a video as a live wallpaper before MIUI 11, without using an external app?
And that’s a great choice.
How?? Battery management is really trash on MIUI 11
Unlucky. Your time will come
Hmm, the loop works on homescreen but not on lockscreen ….??
And, is there any video wallpaper that is truly a looped one? These just make me hickup, because they jump to beginning when they reach end , and it’s ugly.
That’s Sick
Post the video link please.

My Mi 9t pro is still running on miui10
LOL.
It works only when on launcher which is tooo less
I mean it would be like 10 mins in a whole day
K20 pro on india got MIUI 11 way back.
Why I cant make mute video in wallpaper
[here it is.](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dIFATFMhFaa5kEQ1Yqc033ZTaCsxhtNP/view?usp=drivesdk)
After you set a video file as wallpaper with the Gallery app, you can use any 3rd party wall.
Highly recommend: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.afkettler.earth
I just tryed and we can’t
Nope , the battery standby is still great for me. I lose like only 4% more than usual.
Requires MIUI 11.
Shouldn’t it use up about as much energy as any moving wallpaper?
Oh? I didn’t know that. I’ll go and try find some with resolution good enough.
Make it as a seperate post mate. Much appreciated.
Does it work with gif ?
RIP the battery
Post this on r/marvelstudios for karma
Quick question, does video wallpaper also work on home screen, and does it loop automatically?
Already available with zedge since android 6, c’mon dude
I never even see my block screen, straight from black screen to unlocked through fingerprint
Does anyone here know how to update mi 9t pro to miui11?
MI NOTE 7. MIUI 11.
I’ll try upload mine and link it here
Thanks a lot
Roger :3
Is this a MIUI 11 feature? I have a RN8 Pro with MIUI 10 and there’s no option to do this
Thanks mate.

Yes, but not very much.
I’d take the scene from American Psycho where Batemen is winking and pointing at himself in the mirror as he’s banging the hooker.
What region are you in?
Drive link?
Yeah, MIUI11 brings this new feature.
I can pretty much assure you that we can’t set ANY VIDEO as your LOCKSCREEN WALLPAPER until MIUI 11.
Before MiUI 11, we were only able to set live wallpapers for Homescreen.
Settings>About phone>System update>check. (Mi 9t, should be the same). Not sure how to manually update it
Yes you can
?
Why? 🙁
For me it doesn’t. Is there anything specific you did?
I used it on Zedge in miui 10, please don’t lie, I invite everyone to try it out (not getting paid tho)
Overdoing it
Not true. Custom live wallpaper can run on miui10. I was able to get it working on lock and home screen on miMix3(5g) and the regular Xiaomi themes app
Cannot help you with the MIUI11 update though. 🙁
You can, there’s an option on the top right.
Disable video sound I think
Is there any way I can get the update?
I prefer GIF. Well loop GIF. And it work on both screen lock and home screen.
Then short videos for this…3 second! I wish see this in my R8NP…
Still no MIUI update for me on RN7 🙁
Yeah, it works on the home screen. But not sure about the loop thing though.
Wow! Gave me the idea to use the new Star Wars intro (ala Marvel) before The Mandalorian!
to the weebs: upvote this

Fuck you
This is the only thing holding me back
GOALS.
Thats kinda lot
For those who are still on the MIIU. You can do this with any video file. I used a HDR video from youtube.
Here are the instructions.
Open File Manager make sure that you are showing hidden folders by clicking the three dots on the top right just under you storage info.
Then click on the MIUI folder and create a folder called. .videowallpaper Don’t forget the period in front of the name.
Now just copy any video file into that directory.
Open your wallpaper settings and click on the smiley face on the bottom right. Then click wallpapers. You do not have to have a Mi account. Then click My wallpaper movies. Your video will show up there and you can add it to the lock screen as well.
Its a bit of a workaround but once you have it setup its a lot easier to add to it. All you have to do is save the video file to the .videowallpaper directory and it will show up under My wallpaper movies.
Hope that helps.
Jealous.
It does loops
So your telling me that you can keep any wallpaper as lockscreen live wallpaper? Like having a video of myself walking down th road as my phone’s lockscreen live wallpaper?
Was commenting the same from my RN7 yesterday. After commenting went to check the update page. Clicked on check updates. Booom. Got MIUI 11.
Yep those are the steps I used about 1 month ago.
I was able to get lock screen and home screen with the default Xiaomi themes app in miui10.

Go to Miui forums, and register. You can then search and download piles of animated wallpapers.
Then you put them in /MIUI/.videowallpaper/ directory … they should be *.m4v files with certain resolution. I got ones for iPhone and for OnePlus.
[here you go.](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dIFATFMhFaa5kEQ1Yqc033ZTaCsxhtNP/view?usp=drivesdk)
How do i set it?
Consoomer
HOES
For those that doesn’t like marvel could use r/cinemagraphs for more footage
Damn, I had no idea this was a thing. Thanks!
How do you download a YouTube video?
That’s ok. Chill.
Nope, although it is not hard to do it you know?
Make sure you get permission from the content creator. Then search for Youtube video downloader you will find several sites that can do this.
On contrary. Makes sense only on lockscreen. And on home screen , you get to make it overcrowded with information not being able to recognize your icons.
And how does one do this? (Mi9t global build)
Wow thanks, I would probably never knew that I had this feature since I use Google Photos as my gallery.
