can't change live wallpapers

[Zeero59]

Feedback:
live wallpapers cannot be changed from the essentials app and only way to change is to set a static wallpaper or use another wallaper service and reapply the 2nd live wallpaper via essentials

Make sure you are re-applying it after changing the video

I am reapplying it but no update.
So it's a one ui specific bug?
I can't upload screenrecord for some reason. even with converting to different formats.

I think this might be a OneUI specific thing then. I was never aware of such but I only got Pixels to test with.

For the screen records, I think they must be <25MB

Live wallpaper gets boring very fast I'll stick with the daily wallpapers. you can close it if you don't intend to hunt the issue as it doesn't break anything yet.
