Enplug Screensaver for Windows

For information on using the Enplug Screensaver on Mac, see this article.

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 remote employees to view your Enplug content. 

Notes:

  • Every actively running instance of the Screensaver will require a license. If you have no available licenses on your account, you won't be able to view the content.
  • Microsoft .NET 8 CORE is required.

Notes:

  • Spectrio and the Enplug Support Team are unable to provide specific support for a deployments made in bulk.
  • In order to install the screensaver for all users, the installers must be set up by an admin.

To open file blocked by Windows Defender SmartScreen:

  1. Navigate to the file that's being blocked by SmartScreen.
  2. Right-click the file.
  3. Click Properties.
  4. Check the box next to Unblock.
  5. Click Apply.

The file should now be treated as safe by SmartScreen and you'll be allowed to open it.

From here, the user will need to replace the green installer path and the purple player url with their own information. 

To do so:

  1. Download the .msi installer.
  2. Open a command prompt and replace the green text with the path of the installer on your computer and replace the URL with your own Content URL from your Display Group.
  3. After installation, the Enplug Screensaver will be available in your Screensaver Settings. The display URL can be viewed or changed, if needed.
  4. The Content URL will be stored in a JSON file within the installation folder (preferences.json) and can be deployed to multiple computers using MDM software.
