A preparation guide for video wallpapers and native dynamic backgrounds.
1. Check the wallpaper format
An MP4 video and a native dynamic HEIC wallpaper require different setup methods. Check the exact format on the product page when downloads become available.
2. Prepare your wallpaper player
For a video wallpaper, choose a macOS-compatible live wallpaper player that supports your file format and macOS version. Confirm any separate cost and its behavior with external displays before installing.
3. Import and fit your scene
Open your player, import the downloaded file, select a display, and choose a fit mode. Enable looping and mute the scene if it includes audio. Player controls vary by app.
4. Tune it for everyday use
Check battery use and enable pause settings where supported. If motion stutters, try a lower resolution or frame rate supported by your player.
Looking for native dynamic wallpapers?
Use a product explicitly listed as a native macOS dynamic wallpaper and follow its included instructions. The current video previews do not confirm dynamic HEIC support.
