How to Create a Google Photos Slideshow
Here’s how to create your simple Google Photos slideshow.
Viewing a Google Photos Slideshow
While you can choose the photos that appear in a Google Photos slideshow, you can’t otherwise customize it. The slideshow starts automatically, and you can’t change the amount of time a photo is shown before fading into the next one. You also can’t add or change music. All you can do is choose the album and the first photo of the slideshow. Additionally, you can’t change the order of the photos. If you create a new album for your slideshow, then the photos display from oldest to newest no matter what order you use when adding them to the album. You can’t share your slideshow directly. You can show it off on a device that has Google Photos, or cast it to a Chromecast to show off your photos on a TV, but those are the only options. This means that if you want a slideshow with all the bells and whistles, you want to look elsewhere. The Google Play Store has several alternatives available that allow you to add music or fine-tune the settings of your slideshow. If all that you really need is something that is simple and easy to use, then the slideshow from Google Photos is the best option. You can set up a slideshow in just seconds.
