Setting a unique background on each of your multiple monitors was a simple trick in Windows 8, and, for a while, the menu was buried in Windows 10. Luckily, it has been added back in a more logical location.
Finished setting up multiple monitors but still stuck with the same wallpaper? Wouldn’t it be refreshing if you could set a new background for each monitor?

One of the best features of Google Photos is the way it can bring your picture collection to lots of different screens.
If you’ve got a Google Nest Hub, for instance, Google Photos essentially turns it into a smart picture frame. On Android TV and Chromecast devices, Google Photos can supply the pictures in “Ambient” screen saver mode. You can even turn Pixel phones into a place for Google Photos when you use Google’s Pixel Stand wireless charger.

But until recently, my desktop PC wasn’t getting the same treatment. Neither Windows nor Mac offer much in the way of dynamic wallpaper options, and they certainly don’t integrate with Google’s photo service.
