![NEW Sequoia Macintosh Screen Saver HD [FULL VIDEO LOOP!!!]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pnjxehheT_I/mqdefault.jpg "NEW Sequoia Macintosh Screen Saver HD [FULL VIDEO LOOP!!!]
Everyone has been asking about the new macOS Sequoia Vintage Macintosh Screen Saver & wallpaper! This new screensaver is NOT a looping video, it is an actual framework/application that can dynamically generate different images AND display the current date and time! I recorded it in 1080p on a M1 MacBook Air. This should be the full loop starting with the Mac Booting icon and looping all the way back. Enjoy!!!
