[kchernandez]

This actually works I was impressed. Thank you!

[seoyeonyerielback]

It works perfectly! Hope comes with sound

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

Good video and really easy to follow.
As a few other comments already said my screen turns black, as soon as I unlock it the second time. My Mac runs on the newest system update, I tried restarting it a few times and also tried a few different vids with different Screensaver. It will not work 2 times in a row, only if I click on another screensaver and then go back to the customized one.
So I'd like to know, if it works for you every time and what the problem could be. Thank you in advance.

I did all the steps but the video does not play. I verified and it is saved as an MOV file. What am I missing?

[professordekarios]

thank you!! i had to convert my mp4s to movs and it worked perfectly!!

[FoibyYoon]

I updated to the latest software and did everything correctly, but when I unlock my Mac it just shows a gray screen and then stops working😭 I have an M3 Pro Macbook.

[kullanici]

thanks a lot! you explained it so clearly that it worked!

[omarquesjr]

it works only the first time before I unlock my Mac then it's just a static frame, even if I restart it.

Is it possible to have a video lockscreen, and a different picture wallpaper?

[radicaldude_]

Thank you, this video is very helpful

[madbandit]

Unfortunately, restarting it doesn't fix the problem of the wallpaper turning blank after locking the screen and logging back in. The video did say that it will take a few days for it to work properly. Is there a time frame for how long it will take/ how many restarts? It's worth noting I don't usually shut off my macbook most time, just close the screen and let it sleep.

I tried it and it works the first time but the screen turns black afterwards. I have restarted my laptop multiple times. They said it’s gonna take a while for the system to set so I will wait and see if it works in a few days 😭😭
