Step 1. Add your first video!
Step 1.
Hover over a wallpaper thumbnail you wish to add to your playlist.
Step 2. The box.
Click the empty box in that upper right corner there.
Step 3. The playlist is born.
This whole thing should open up on the bottom of the program now


Step 3a.
If you made a mistake, you can hover over that tiny thumbnail in the playlist and click the even tinier red X that appears in the upper right corner. Similarly to how you added the video in the first place.

Do you see it? I'm trying to point at it.

Otherwise if you just wanna redo the whole thing then refer to Step 3's image and click Clear on the far right.
Step 4. Do it again.
Repeat steps 1 & 2. Click those boxes and fill up that playlist!
Step 5. Configurmigate
Step 5.
Click Configure in between Save and Remove wallpaper.
Step 6. Hoo boy.
Step 6. This is a long one.

  • Change wallpaper - You can look through the drop-down list but those options in particular will not apply to what we're trying to accomplish here. You can just leave it at default, the rest of our settings will take priority.

  • Order - If Random, it will essentially go through each video on shuffle mode. If Sorted, it'll play from left to right. I personally have it randomized but up it's entirely up to you.

  • Change wallpaper when a video ends - This is what I meant when I said our settings will take priority. When that box is checked and once the video ends, it will play the next video in the playlist regardless of what you got on the top. So tick it! Unless you don't mind watching a music video for example for an hour straight?

  • Allow wallpaper to change while paused - This is a bit more reliant on your WE settings in general. I have my playback settings for it all to Pause per monitor so my video will resume when nothing else is in the way of my desktop. I also have it set to Mute if another application is playing audio.

    You can copy this if you want. Except the Quality section that's all on your rig and what it can handle.


  • Show wallpaper transition - Play around with it. When it's on, it tends to flash the normal deskop for a moment. When it's off it's a fade to black then straight to the next video. So I prefer it off. Personal preference.

  • Always begin with the first wallpaper - Personal preference, but I don't always want to start with the same video.

Now that we got all that out of the way, we can hit OK in Step 6.
Step 7. I think we're done.
Step 7.
Hit Save next to Configure



Give it whatever name you want, and if you wish to keybind it you may do so.



You can add to the playlist and change its configurations, just save it again under the same name to update it.
