You can configure a global screensaver and then enable it only on the posts or pages where it should appear. Individual posts and pages can also use custom screensaver settings instead of the global defaults. Supported sources: * YouTube video * Vimeo video * Local video from the WordPress media library * Image from the WordPress media library Main features: * Global idle delay and source settings. * Page-level custom screensaver settings. * Frontend close button. * Frontend volume and mute controls for video sources. * Optional “Show one time” behavior per page load. * PHP filters/actions and JavaScript events for custom integrations. The screensaver appears only on posts and pages where it is enabled and where the selected source has a valid media value. ### External Services IdleFrame Screensaver can load embedded videos from YouTube or Vimeo when those sources are selected. When a page uses a YouTube screensaver, the visitor’s browser connects to YouTube/ Google services to load the embedded player and video. YouTube or Google may process data according to their terms and privacy policy: * https://www.youtube.com/t/terms * https://policies.google.com/privacy When a page uses a Vimeo screensaver, the visitor’s browser connects to Vimeo services to load the embedded player and video. Vimeo may process data according to its terms and privacy policy: * https://vimeo.com/terms * https://vimeo.com/privacy Local video and image sources use media from this WordPress site and do not load YouTube or Vimeo services. ## Screenshots [⌊Configure the global idle delay, source type, and default sound settings.⌉⌊Configure the global idle delay, source type, and default sound settings.⌉[ Configure the global idle delay, source type, and default sound settings.
