Overview
To begin with, it is worth understanding the concept of “looping”. The fact is that it is technically impossible to implement an endless repetition in the video file itself. You can loop playback only in the player – in most programs this is easily done using the characteristic arrow button. In this article, you’ll learn how to loop a video on Android device.
Therefore, all existing tools and services loop video in one of three ways:
- Duplication of content and gluing into one file – the video will be repeated a specified number of times and stop;
- Looping on the service side – the video is endlessly spinning in the player embedded on pages and messengers;
- Converting to GIF – turning into an animation gives a full loop, but removes the sound and makes the file very large.
Which option to choose depends on the specific situation and the result you want to get.
