Things to remember

• Low-end devices cannot use animated backgrounds since they need a CPU with four logical processors and at least 8 GB of RAM.
• Currently, only Microsoft's predefined backgrounds are available.
• Using video filters could cause background animation to lag if your computer is already under a lot of stress.
