Description
Wallpapers can be deployed from Jamf School using a device profile. The steps for macOS and iOS devices can be found in the Wallpaper article in the Jamf School Documentation.
Keep in mind:
When the profile is removed the wallpaper will remain on the device.
Wallpaper conflicts occur when different device groups or profiles attempt to apply multiple backgrounds, causing configuration conflicts. The order of events in which wallpapers are installed can also contribute to this issue.
Deploying custom wallpapers to Apple TV is not possible with Jamf School. If you're trying to manage or customize wallpapers on Apple TV, this functionality is not supported within the current capabilities of Jamf School.
