Chromecast Ambient mode as desktop wallpaper

MarvinTheRobot — Sat, 27 Aug 2022 00:39:02 GMT

I really like the feed of photos on ambient mode of the Chromecast. I'd really like to also make it a desktop wallpaper on my PC, short of making a video of a chromecast running the ambient mode to the desktop is there any other options?

Would be nice to get an updated live feed of the ambient mode rather than downloading all the old backgrounds one by one.
