Chromecast Home Screen

Hello,

I own an Airbnb and would like to display a welcome message on my TV screen when guests arrive. Is it possible to customize the photos on the Home Screen of Chromecast?

 

Thanks!

Yes, you can do that but you will need a set (at least 3 or 4) pictures.

Make a photo album using Google Photos using the pictures you want to show

Then set Ambient Mode to show that album.

You have to have a set because if you don't have enough, the Chromecast will add general pictures to prevent screen-burn.  So, find a dozen good pictures around your town and add your welcome message to them.  Maybe some like "Welcome to our AirBnB.  Looking for a good picnic spot... check out East Portal Park".

Thank you very much. I found what I was looking for from this site. It is alot easier than a youtube video pausing & trying without any luck. Thanks again Byteguy!
