**Discovering New Tricks with Your Samsung Phone**

Today, I'm excited to share some new tricks that I've learned and show you how to do them yourself. First, let's start with something simple but useful - pinching our home screen. By doing so, we can access the wallpapers option, which is a great way to customize your phone's look and feel. In this section of the settings menu, you'll find various options for downloading new wallpapers, including themes and videos. Yes, you read that right - Samsung has introduced a new feature where you can download video wallpapers from their theme store.

**Accessing Video Wallpapers**

To access the video wallpaper option, simply go to the search bar at the top of the screen and type "video". You'll be surprised at the number of options available, including some really cool ones. While I couldn't find a few videos that I wanted to share with you, including the firework dog and maple, I've left links to them in the description below so you can download them for yourself. The selection is pretty good, and you won't have to create your own video wallpapers. Instead, you can browse through the options available from Samsung's theme store.

**Adding Video Wallpapers to Your Phone**

To add any of these video wallpapers to your phone, simply open the wallpaper app, select the one you want to download, and apply it as your new lock screen. This will replace your standard lock screen with a beautiful video feature that will play for about five seconds before hiding when you swipe on the screen. If you like, you can also customize this feature by going into your gallery, selecting the video you want to use, and cropping it down to fit the 15-second limit. You can edit the video in Adobe Premiere or any other video editing app to make sure it looks perfect before applying it as your new lock screen.

**Tips and Variations**

If you're feeling creative, why not try creating your own video wallpapers? Simply go to your camera roll, select a video, and set it as wallpaper using the menu options. You can also edit the video in Adobe Premiere or any other video editing app to crop it down to fit the 15-second limit. Make sure to create a vertical video format to ensure that it looks great on your phone's screen. Additionally, if you want to add multiple videos to your lock screen, simply select "set wallpaper" for each one and apply them individually.

**Battery Drain Concerns**

One question that I've been asked is whether using a video wallpaper will drain the battery of my phone. In short, it shouldn't make too much of a difference, as you'll only be looking at this feature for about five seconds before it hides when you swipe on the screen. However, if you're feeling technical, those with more power-hungry phones may notice a slight decrease in battery life due to the extra processing required by video playback.

**Conclusion**

And that's it! Applying a video wallpaper to your Samsung phone is easy and fun. Whether you want to download pre-made wallpapers from Samsung's theme store or create your own, there are plenty of options available to customize your phone's look and feel.
