Microsoft is finally bringing native video wallpapers to Windows 11 — 19 years after Windows Vista's DreamScenes
Windows Vista Ultimate had a feature called DreamScene that let you set videos as your desktop background. Almost 20 years later, it looks like video wallpapers are making a return on Windows 11.
Hidden in the latest Windows 11 preview builds, and first spotted by Insider sleuth@phantomofearth on X, the feature lets you set an MP4, MOV, AVI, WMV, M4V, or MKV file as your wallpaper, which will play the video whenever you view the desktop. For whatever reason, DreamScene was never carried forward in future versions of Windows, and so the OS has been without the native capability of setting video as your desktop background ever since. The feature was first spotted by Phantomofearth on X, and appears to be hidden in the latest Windows 11 preview builds that rolled out earlier this week to Insiders in the Dev and Beta Channels.
