Hi All,

I would like to deploy screen saver to the conference room computers via Intune. I found the section for creating profile which I did but I couldnt figure out where to upload my photos to present in the lock screen.

I would like to attach JPEG photo to present as a screen saver.

Configuration profiles > Templates > Administrative Templates > search "screen saver" in intune portal.

Can you help me out?

Thank you!

    In the screenshot you can find my test two created new profiles. But for both scenarios, cant find any upload section.

    @Miray Iren Thanks for posting in our Q&A.

    For this issue, please pay attention to the setting "Force specific screen saver". It is suggested to save your photos in %Systemroot%\System32 directory (usually is C:\Windows\System32) and then type the name of the file that contains the screen saver.

    And this setting is available in User type, so please assign this configuration profile to a user group.

    Hope it will give you some ideas.

    I tried to do this some months ago, with Windows 10 & 11 you would want to do this in modern way, but I couldn't find any decent way to control this setting for slideshow with policies. Ideally you would have a policy which specifies that Background setting would be Slideshow and option to set a path to pictures, but this control method just does not exists.

    Yes, .scr file is needed. You can create it by 3rd party app which usually requires a license. I investigated same matter less than 6 month ago. @Miray Iren
