Following the same section of tips/tricks, in which I  posted my last article - How to hide files behind a JPEG file. , I am publishing another interesting article.


You people might have got bored from your desktop wallpaper which is staring at you as hell all the day and night and you may be on a hunt for something which looks interesting on the desktop.

So here you are at the right place because I am going to show you how to replace your desktop wallpaper with a video

Some reasons why you should choose to follow this post and apply on your desktop are:
  • Bored of your not moving, boring, static wallpapers.
  • Want to try something new every time.
  • Want your PC to be different from your friends', and then as expected - show off.
  • Just enjoy to do such geeky things.

Lets start!!!

Things needed

  • VLC media player (download link provided at the end of this article)
  • A video which you will replace with your wallpaper on your desktop.

Follow some very simple steps or you can also watch the video embedded below: 

  • After downloading and installing VLC media player Open it
  • Go to tools => preferences OR directly press ctrl+p.




    • Now, a window would have opened just as shown below



    • Now Click on button - "video" which is on the left pane.
    • In that video settings select - Direct video Output, as shown in image below.




    • Now click on save and close VLC player.
    • Open your video, which is to be replaced by wallpaper on desktop, with VLC player
    • You may notice that the theme will be changed to windows basic theme.
    • Then right click =>video=>set as wallpaper



    • Now you will see that your desktop will be playing that video instead of showing wallpaper.
    Note that
    • Do not refresh your desktop while the video is playing up on desktop else the video will disappear
    • Just keep it as it is.
    • To get back previous wallpaper you can refresh desktop and than close the VLC window.
