How to setup Desktop/laptop background wallpaper and Screen Saver via Intune from locally stored on device or SharePoint or OneDrive?

As I don't see such option in Intune so far which is really not good way to put company details on public sites like domain or some other.

for example: file path would look like

C:\DesktopBackground\DesktopWallpaperfilename.jpg

C:\DesktopBackground\Screesaverfilename.jpg

    See my blog post about this covering background wallpaper customization:

    I remember trying customize screen saver 1-2 years back and it was a pain thing to do, it required some 3rd party special app which we would need to purchace so I gave up on that. Maybe customizing Lockscreen would be satisfiable for need?
