How to loop online video on smartphone and computer

To begin with, it is worth understanding the concept of "looping". The fact is that it is technically impossible to implement an endless loop in the video file itself. You can only loop playback in the player - in most programs this is easily done using the characteristic arrow buttons.

Therefore, all existing tools and services loop the video in one of three ways:

• duplication of content and gluing into one file - the video is repeated a specified number of times and stops;
• looping on the side of the service - the video spins endlessly in the player embedded on pages and messengers;
• conversion to GIF - turning into animation gives full looping, 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.
