@erolok found a better way:

you need a .webm video file and it cant be too long about 12 seconds works great for me

you can cut the video and change it to .webm with FoneLab Video Converter Ultimate. its free and easy to use
https://download.fonelab.com/video-converter-ultimate.exe

create a poster.jpeg by screenshotting the first frame of the loop (it has no effect on the wallpaper but thats what you see where you choose your wallpaper)

open text editor and copy the following in (fill in the stars):

[Info]
name = *****
author = *****
version = 2

[Start Page]
background = video.webm
position = center bottom
title text color = #FFFFFF
title text shadow = none
first frame image=poster.jpeg

[Web UI Pages]
background = poster.jpeg
position = center bottom

save the file as persona.ini

create a .zip archive and drop in the video.webm poster.jpeg and persona.ini

open opera and open the link opera:about there you see where your themes are saved
C:\Users\name\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera GX Stable\themes

drop the .zip in this path and then restart your browser

now open settings and you should see your wallpaper in your installed wallpapers

@baphomeat I found a way to find your wallpaper in settings. You want to change your background name in the persona.ini document. Let's say your webm file name is cats.webm . Initially, the Start Page template that erolok gave is:

[Start Page]
background = video.webm
position = center bottom
title text color = #FFFFFF
first frame image=poster.jpeg

We want to rewrite: background = cats.webm

It will look like this:
[Start Page]
background = cats.webm
position = center bottom
title text color = #FFFFFF
first frame image=poster.jpeg

If that does not work then it also might be your poster jpeg file name. You can rename your .jpg file into poster

Hope it works!
