Vividwall — Support

Live video wallpapers for your Mac.

Frequently asked questions

How do I set a wallpaper? Select a wallpaper in the sidebar, then click a display chip in the detail pane — or use “Play on all monitors”. Click an active chip again to stop it on that display.

How do I add my own videos? Click Add Video (or press ⌘O), or simply drag video files anywhere onto the Vividwall window. MP4, MOV, M4V, AVI, and MPEG are supported.

Can each display show a different wallpaper? Yes — pick any wallpaper for any display. Each video also has its own playback speed (0.25×–2×), and every display showing that video stays in sync.

Does it drain my battery? Vividwall is built to be polite: Battery Guard pauses playback when your battery runs low, and playback also pauses in Low Power Mode, when your Mac runs warm, and when full-screen apps cover the desktop. All of this is configurable in Settings.

I deleted a built-in wallpaper. Can I get it back? Yes — open Settings and click Restore Built-in Wallpapers.

What is Vividwall Pro? Vividwall is free, including all built-in wallpapers, every power setting, and one imported video of your own. Vividwall Pro — a single one-time purchase, no subscription — unlocks unlimited imports, per-display wallpapers, playback speed control, and automatic wallpaper rotation.

I bought Vividwall back when it was a paid app. Do I get Pro? Yes, automatically and for free — thank you for the early support. The app reads your original App Store purchase and unlocks Pro on its own. If you’re setting up a brand-new Mac and Pro shows locked, make sure you’re online and signed into the App Store, then open Settings → Restore Purchases (or just relaunch the app once).

Where are my videos stored? Imported videos are copied into Vividwall’s own library inside the app’s sandbox container. Your original files are never modified or moved.

What does Vividwall require? A Mac running macOS 13 (Ventura) or later.
