How to make a Google Chromecast video screensaver by looping videos with the media streaming stick. It plugs into your TV and allows you to view any video content played on Google Chrome (on your computer), on your TV screen. Download a video like the one above in 2 minutes and make your own Chromecast screensaver video of a cool aquarium.

The great news for people who love our video backgrounds and screensavers is that you can easily loop videos stored on your hard drive. This means our scenes from nature, virtual fish tank videos and fireplaces can be repeated continuously as Google Chromecast screensavers.

Opening, playing and looping a video stored on your hard drive

To open up a video in Google Chrome you simply hit the Ctrl+O buttons on Windows computers and laptops, or Command+O on MacBooks and iMacs. This will allow you to browse the files stored on your hard drive.

Once the video is loaded you right click anywhere on the screen and select the loop option. This will repeat the video until you stop it. There is a full screen button at the bottom right so that you don’t need to se any of the Chrome controls or top bar.

Loop a video with the TV to make a Chromecast screensaver 

This is possibly the easiest way to use our background videos as a TV screensaver. Our videos are all shot in full HD (1080p resolution). This means the file sizes would get enormous if they were very long. Therefore we make the videos 20 minutes long. The freebie is just a 3 minutes Chromecast loop video.

By looping the videos every 20 minutes you can get an almost seamless viewing experience (we take care to make the loop points as smooth as possible).

Using the Chromecast to stream and loop our videos to your HDTV is a great way to use your television for more than TV shows, movies and video games. You can download the Chrome Extension Chrome Cast on your computer which will connect to the Chromecast stick.

There is also a Chromecast app on the Google Play Store for Android tablets and smartphones. This will allow you to copy our videos to your portable device and then take it with you to stream videos as TV screensavers when on holiday or visiting a friend’s house.

Of course you can use this method to loop any type of video onto your TV screen, such as music videos. The videos we sell at Uscenes are designed to create a pleasing ambience in a room by showing an attractive piece of scenery, or a fireplace, or fish tank.

Uscenes customers have been using our Chromecast screensaver video downloads for all sorts of uses. From simply relaxing at home, to creating atmosphere at a social gathering. Many different businesses have also realised the value in our videos including hotel lobbies, restaurants and we even had a few purchases from a funeral home recently.

    Can I use this as a real screensaver. Which means the fireplace or my home video comes on when I pause my TV? Or do I have to change inputs? What triggers the screen saver function ?

    Hi Mike.

    This does not activate automatically like a computer screensaver. I’m afraid you have to set it up (select video on computer, press repeat button and then watch on TV through Chromecast or Chromebox).

    It is not possible to have an automatic screensaver for TVs. The only platform which seems to have proper screensavers is Roku and we are looking at getting an app made for that.

    Hi Garrett. Almost seamless just covers us that it will be noticeable on some videos when it loops e.g. the fish will be in a different place in an aquarium. For all intents and purposes you can think of it as seamless- as soon as the video ends it restarts. On scenery videos this is often not noticeable at all. On aquariums and fireplaces you will only spot it if starring at the screen, for a split second.
