not a nest display, but using a google tv plug in to cast my shows. i spent a lot of time making an album of photos to display in ambient mode, and although they were all showing up earlier, when i went into the ‘google photos’ option a second time, none of my albums show up anymore. just a message that says something about going into the google homes settings, but i looked everywhere in those and other settings and couldn’t find anything with this issue. any help appreciated thank you!!

Hi Donpadilla5,

Thanks for reaching out. If your private or shared albums don't appear and you expect them to, please turn off curation for those albums by changing the “Personal photo curation” setting to “Live albums only. You may visit this support website article to learn more about the ambient mode feature for your Chromecast.

Thanks,

Jennifer
