A dynamic wallpaper is the one that changes from time to time and does not stay static. It is different from the previous settings when you could only set a single wallpaper image on your computer screen. Dynamic wallpaper means that the wallpaper would automatically switch to a new one after a certain period. These wallpapers can also be considered as video wallpapers that play a sequence of some images on the screen. If you are willing to have a dynamic wallpaper, you will need to set it up. Also, these wallpapers can be triggered by almost anything. Though sometimes they can create a bit more pressure on your CPU, you will not feel any difference in the functionality of your computer.
