Click Exit to close the app and stop the video on your desktop. [1] X Research source

Click Download VLC, then follow the on-screen instructions to open the downloaded file and run the installer. Since VLC can run almost any video format, it’s a good choice for running a video on your desktop. However, you have to leave the app open and running to set a video as your wallpaper.

To stop the playback, close and exit VLC and your wallpaper will return to the original static image.
