Media Collage Screen Saver Slideshow

Media Collage Screensaver Slideshow is an application created for generating slideshows as screensavers, which gets integrated with the Windows Screen Saver Settings panel.

Folders and subfolders with images and videos can be included, the transition delay can be set, video files can be played with or without audio, and up to forty-two pictures can be displayed on the screen. Multiple screens are supported.

The program can be accessed from the Windows Screen Saver Settings panel after installation. The pictures and videos required for running the slideshow can only be inserted by selecting the directory to display, not individually (subfolders can be included or excluded).

The developer does not specify the exact file types supported but, during our tests, we’ve noticed that permitted files are JPEG and TIFF, and video files that can be played are of MP4 type.

There are a few customization options given by the application. For example, the tool can present the high-ranked pictures at a larger scale than the others and more often. Another possibility is to ask the program to skip files labeled as private. Setting the delay time between two slides is possible. It can be specified to any number of seconds from below one to sixty.

Video files can be inserted into the screensaver slideshow as well, and they can be muted to only view the motion pictures. Another feature of the application enables you to set the number of images to display per screen, between one and forty two. Previewing the slideshow is possible, thanks to the built-in option of Windows available for the screensaver settings.

There are also a couple of options which can be changed while the screensaver is playing. You can rate photos and mark them as private, as well as pause the slideshow.

In conclusion, Media Collage Screensaver Slideshow is a simple program for generating slideshows. It offers the possibility of adding photos and videos but, again, they’re not mentioned by the developer. The frequency for changing slides can be set, as well as the maximum number of images per screen, but the files cannot be handpicked (only by folder).
