Screensaver only not as a desktop image
I just reinstalled this for the first time since updating to MacOS 15. I seem to remember there was a way to have it as a screen saver only and not also have it continuously playing on the desktop. Am I remember in error? I can't find anything in the manuals about it on on here.
Was having same issue, but figured out how to enable it using this issue
Just select your monitor using the button the arrow is pointing to
Hey @MacBandito
I'm a bit surprised that it started on its own, maybe I have a bug, I need to check. This was on a macOS update, not a fresh mac Install ? Did you upgrade companion too then ?
In any case I think @Neal-11 should have pointed you in the right direction but if not, press the button here :
It won't start on it's own again. (and if it does let me know)
Had the same. After installation the wallpaper kinda enabled itself by default.
@Neal-11 Was it moving ? MacOS 15 tries to reset your desktop background at install, to their "static-ish" version of it, and had a few people reporting that too. It's easy to miss during setup.
I'll investigate this this week end, thanks for the info in any case !
Pretty sure it was, yes

Correct I had just installed Aerial. Is Companion a separate install from Aerial?
I may have clicked something to get it to start doing that without knowing it but I can’t find any documentation controlling desktop videos. I want the MacOS desktop images when then Aerial as the screensaver.
