About AutoWall
AutoWall turns videos, GIFs, and web pages into live wallpapers on Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11. It supports local files, web URLs including YouTube and Shadertoy embeds, and direct downloads from Steam Workshop. It includes wallpaper playlists, start on Windows startup, automatic pausing during games or when the wallpaper is not visible, and settings edited through a configuration file and mpv.conf.
The software is portable and has only been tested on Windows 10, so it may not be fully compatible with other versions. Multiple-screen support is in early beta, may have bugs, and does not support some single-screen features such as stopping when not visible or web wallpaper.
