Common questions about videos
What videos can I use?
Common formats like MP4, MOV, and M4V. Use your own videos or the built-in starter pack.
What if my videos are low quality?
Best results with videos at your display's native resolution. Lower quality videos will scale but may appear softer.
Are playlists called Collections in Walyro?
Yes. In Walyro, playlist-style sets are called Collections, so you can save favorites, group clips together, and rotate them without swapping wallpapers by hand.
No online library. Nothing is streamed. Use the built-in offline pack + your own videos.
