If you have a Nest Hub, Nest Hub Max or other Google Assistant display and you
want to take full advantage of the photo frame featur,e this is going to be the
video for you. I'm Josh Teder from 6 Months Later and in this video I'm going
to show you how you can get your photos from Google Photos to display on a
Google Assistant display. Now if you're planning to gift a Google Assistant
display to a family member or friend, I'm also going to show you how you can
take advantage of shared albums in Google Photos that you can share with
multiple people so you can all add photos to the Google Assistant display
that you're ultimately going to gift to someone. Let's dive in. Alright, the first
thing we'll need to do is to make sure we've got our photos set up the way we
want in Google Photos. With the Google Assistant displays you can add albums in
Google Photos to display on the device or you can select faces of people and
pets you want to see. If you're unfamiliar with some of the core
features of Google Photos, definitely go ahead and pause this video and go watch
our how to use Google Photos in 2020 video. You can get to it by clicking the
card in this video or clicking the link in the video description below.
Assuming you've got Google Photos set up the way you want, let's open up the
Google Home app. Scroll through the app till you see the Assistant display you
want to display your Google Photos on. Click on that device and then click edit
photo frame. On the screen that follows you'll see that we have a few options to
choose what's displayed on our Google Assistant's screen. For this tutorial
you're going to want to select Google Photos. On the screen that follows you
can then select the albums in Google Photos that you want. Google will give
you a few default albums like recent highlights and favorites as well. To see
the most recently updated albums click the list icon and then select last
updated. Selected shows you the albums that you've currently selected photos to
show on the Google Assistant display. If you want to just see photos of specific
people and pets, tap select family and friends and then you'll be able to
choose the faces you want to see displayed on your Google Assistant
display. After your done making selections, hit the back arrow and
then close the app. Your Google Assistant display will now start to display photos
from the Google Photos albums you selected. Now let's talk about the
situation where you're gifting someone a Google Assistant display and are going
to set it up for them and want to have all of your family photos ready to go in
a single album. To do this we'll first need to go into Google Photos and I'll
show you how to do this on Google Photos desktop first and then on a mobile
device. For Google Photos in the browser, click the Create button with a plus and
select shared album. Then select photos from your Google Photos library you'd
like to go ahead and add to the album. Then click done. Next add a title then
click Share. Select the people in your family you would like to be able to
contribute to the album then click send. To confirm that the people you've shared
the album with can upload their own photos to it, click the three dots and
scroll down and double-check that collaborate is turned on. This will allow
those you share the album with to be able to add their own photos and videos
to the album. Alright now let's switch to a mobile device. For Google Photos on
a mobile device first click albums, then click the plus icon with the text new
album underneath it. Add the photos that you want to include with the album, give
it a title, click the share button at the top and then select the people you would
like to add as collaborators to the album. Once you've made your selections,
then click the send button. You can click the three dots, then options, and double
check to make sure collaborate is selected. After you've got it set up on
Google Photos, now we'll go to the Google Home app select the Google Assistant
display that you want to display photos on in the Google Home app. Then select
edit photo frame, Google Photos, now select the album that you recently
created in the Google Photos app and now the display will start to show photos
from that album. Well that's it for our how-to video on how to get your photos
