    Animated backgrounds

    An animated background is a short video made to play on repeat behind something else: a stream overlay, a desktop, a video call or a TV in the corner of a room. Every one here is an original scene made by InfinityLooper, and each page was written from the clip's own frames.

    Each page lists the real file specs measured from the master: resolution, length, frame rate, size, and whether the first and last frames match so the repeat is invisible. None of the files has an audio track.

    90 loops; the 24 below are a good place to start. Each unlocks with one sponsored offer (we earn a commission) or your email, or you can buy it on Etsy.

    Choosing and using them

    Landscape or vertical

    16:9 landscape clips fit stream layouts, monitors and TVs. 9:16 vertical clips fit phone wallpapers, Shorts, Reels and TikTok, and vertical stream canvases.

    Short loops, long sessions

    Most clips are 5 or 10 seconds. That keeps files small and makes them easy to load in OBS, Wallpaper Engine or a TV media player, set to repeat.

    Setting them up

    The guides cover OBS Studio and Streamlabs, Windows desktops, Zoom calls and phone wallpapers step by step.

    Questions

    What format are the files?
    MP4 video with H.264 encoding, which plays in OBS, Streamlabs, Wallpaper Engine, Lively Wallpaper, Zoom, most TVs and every modern browser.
    Why are the clips so short?
    Short loops repeat cleanly and load quickly. A 5-second clip with matching first and last frames looks the same as a long one once it is set to repeat.
