        @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!
