Overview
The Enplug ScreenSaver allows you to set your Enplug Content URL as your Windows 10 ScreenSaver. This feature can be accessed from any location, allowing even remote employees to view your Enplug content.
For more information for setting up Content URLs, check out our support guide here.
Note: Every actively running instance of the ScreenSaver will require a license. If you have no available licenses on your account, you will not be able to view the content.
After setup is completed, the Windows 10 computer will need access to the internet to function.

NOTE: Below are the command line options that are used:
- Enplug-Screen-Saver-Installer.exe - This is the executable file name. You may need to add the specific location depending on your software distribution tool.
- /S - Silent Install, nothing is shown on the screen
- /url="Content_URL" - This is the URL corresponding to the Display to the Display Group. Please remember to put in the quotation marks when specifying it on the /url="URL_goes_here" and no space between the equal sign and the first quotation mark
- Note: The Content URL can be created on the Display Group you wish to show content from. Instructions can be found here: Content URLs
- /lockurl - This locks the URL in the Windows Control Panel and makes it so that end users are not able to change or delete it
An example command prompt might look like this:
C:\Users\Public>Enplug-Screen_Saver_Installer.exe /S /url="https://player.enplug.com/#/display/1234567890" /lockurl
