What should you know before putting a video background on Android?
Before launching to install the tool that we propose to put background videos on Android, there are some things that we should comment on. First of all, continuously playing a video can impair your device’s ability to perform certain tasks. In other words, performance can suffer. Therefore, we do not advise you to use a video as a background if your phone does not have too many resources.

As a consequence, it consumes more battery and autonomy is reduced. This can be a real problem if you need your device to withstand long working hours.
