Live and video wallpapers on the Mac and on Windows, step by step: what each system does by itself, what an app adds, and what to do when something won’t play.
Neither macOS nor Windows keeps a video playing on the desktop by itself. These guides say what each one does do, which apps fill the gap (ours among them, and not only ours), and how to set one up. We make Seasill; every fact about another company’s product is linked to its source and dated.
