# Upload a Video Wallpaper

Quick reference for publishing a single video file straight from the desktop app. Walk through it interactively in the [first video wallpaper tutorial](/en/studio/creator/tutorials/first-video-wallpaper.md).

## Steps

1. Open the settings window and choose **Upload** in the sidebar.
2. Set the tab to **New wallpaper**.
3. Click the file picker and select your video (`.mp4` or `.webm`).
4. Fill in the form:
   - **Slug**: lowercase letters, digits, and hyphens. Cannot change later.
   - **Name**: display name.
   - **Version**: `0.1.0` for first release.
   - **Description**: optional.
   - **Tags**: optional.
5. Click **Upload**.

## Recommendations

- **Resolution & bitrate**: videos play muted and looped. Re-encode to 1080p or lower to keep package size reasonable.
- **Length**: looping is automatic, so short clips that loop seamlessly work best. Long videos balloon disk usage and download time.
- **Audio**: playback is always muted. Strip the audio track before uploading to save space.
