He described them as &#8220;stunning slow-motion videos capturing the essence of various global locations.&#8221; When you unlock your Mac, these dynamic images seamlessly transition into your desktop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While earlier macOS versions had a static image representing the OS version, macOS Sonoma lets you choose from a rich array of screensavers, giving a dynamic look to your lock screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Steps_to_Activate_a_Screensaver\"><\/span><strong>2.
