Ringtones have been alerting us to incoming calls for decades, transitioning from monotone and polyphonic sounds to mp3 formats. However, video ringtones are still quite rare.<\/p>\n

Although some network providers offer video ringtone services, in today\u2019s smartphone era, you can set your own videos as ringtones, regardless of provider support. An Android app called Video Ringtone Maker lets you do this at no cost, and even allows you to download a collection of videos for free.<\/p>\n

Setting Up Your Video Ringtone<\/h2>\n

To begin, download and install the Video Ringtone Maker app from Google Play.<\/p>\n

\"Downloading<\/figure>\n
    \n
  1. Open the app and enter your name, email, age, and favorite artist, then tap \u2018Save\u2019.<\/li>\n
    \"Entering<\/figure>\n
  2. In the main page of the app, select \u2018Videos\u2019 from the bottom menu. You\u2019ll then see more options to set a video for incoming calls, shuffle them, or upload your own video.<\/li>\n
    \"Accessing<\/figure>\n
  3. If your phone doesn\u2019t have videos stored, the app will play random videos available online. To use your favorite video, transfer it to your SD card or internal storage. Alternatively, tap \u2018Download\u2019 on the bottom menu to search and download free videos from the web. <\/li>\n
  4. After downloading a video to your SD card, go to \u2018Incoming Videos\u2019 on the bottom menu, choose your video, and tap \u2018Save\u2019.<\/li>\n
    \"Selecting<\/figure>\n<\/ol>\n

    Once saved, test the ringtone by making a call from another phone, or wait for an incoming call to see your video play on your smartphone as it rings.<\/p>\n

    Conclusion<\/h2>\n

    With the right app, you can use videos as your ringtones. Now, instead of just hearing a ringtone, you can watch a video play whenever you receive a call. Have you tried using a video ringtone before? What apps have you used?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
