The video correctly describes Wallpaper Engine’s pause rules in the Performance settings, but it implies a bigger gaming slowdown than is guaranteed.

Claim-by-claim breakdown

Accurate (94% confidence): Wallpaper Engine has Performance settings that let you pause or stop wallpapers when other apps are fullscreen, maximized, or playing audio. Official help pages confirm that Wallpaper Engine pauses in-game by default and lets users configure behavior in the Performance tab, including app-specific rules and audio-related behavior.
Accurate (86% confidence): Setting Wallpaper Engine to pause during gaming can reduce its performance impact while you play. Wallpaper Engine’s help notes that it pauses itself while in-game by default and can be configured to avoid background use; however, performance impact varies by setup.
Misleading (82% confidence): If you keep Wallpaper Engine running but pause the wallpaper in fullscreen or gaming, your PC will not slow down when gaming. The software can be configured to pause in-game, but the claim that the PC will not slow down at all is broader than what the official documentation supports.
