Info on pictures in ambient mode

rparkinson1993 — Tue, 02 Aug 2022 20:59:06 GMT

Hi team,

I really like the ambient mode with pictures just changing in a slideshow style.

However, is it possible to add details such as location or detail of picture? It would be awesome to know where the picture is from.

Currently you can see author only. I hope this doesn't sound too sad!

Thanks,

Rick

Hi rparkinson1993,

Thanks for reaching out. The details of the photos shown in the ambient mode depend on the owner who submitted their artwork to Google.

However, if you're using your Google Photos to be your screensaver, by default, your photos will display information like album name, photo date, photo location, and more. Check out this support website article to learn more about the ambient mode feature for the Chromecast devices.

Thanks,

Jennifer
