Hi clarpinto,

From within the home app, scroll down and find the display you want your Google photos to appear on. Tap it. At the bottom you should see "edit photo frame". Tap it and you will have your choices for what appears on your display.

 If you don't see "edit photo frame", click the "gear" icon in the upper right corner. Under " device features" you should see "photo frame". Tap it and you will have your choices for what appears on your display.

Thank you for your quick response.

This is what happened.  My wifi is set to automatically detect 2.4 vs 5 wifi devices and connect accordingly, with the same name.  My iPhone was connecting to 5, where as google home hub was connecting at 2.4.

I separated my wifi names and changed my iPhone to 2.4 and then was able to see my google photos sync up and was able to select the albums to show on my Google Hub.
