- In the left part of the settings window, click on Wallpaper.
- Browse through the savers/wallpapers categories and select an image with a play symbol on it - that's how you'll recognize a dynamic wallpaper.

You can choose to make it the screen saver and desktop background, or just the background. As with wallpapers, there are several categories of screensavers to choose from. If you don't want to focus on a single spot, you can choose from the Shuffle aerial shots category at the bottom of the window. You can also choose how often you want the screensaver to change, every 12 hours, a day, two days, a week, a month, or continuously.
