A photo album is easy to share, but a screen can give those memories a place in the room. Whether you are setting up a reception display, showcasing a community event or revisiting a family holiday, Advertise Me’s Slideshow Photos Album turns a shared Google Photos album into a configurable live presentation. You choose the album and the look; the tool refreshes the display as the shared collection changes.
Start with an album that is ready to display
The tool works from a shared Google Photos album link. Create a dedicated album for your display, add a small selection of photos and turn on link sharing. Copy the complete link, then open it in a private browser window to confirm that it is accessible without signing in to Google.
A dedicated album makes the display easier to manage. For a business, that might be approved project photos. For a family, it could be a holiday collection. Choose pictures that you are comfortable showing to everyone who can see the screen or access the shared link.
Build your slideshow with the guided wizard
- Open photos.advertiseme.tv and select Wizard.
- Paste the shared album link into the Album step and add an optional title.
- Choose your layout, theme and title card.
- Select the features you want, such as photo dates, video playback, comments or music.
- Review the configuration and create the album preview.
- Complete the email verification requested by the service to access the preview and editing links.
The website states that email verification is required for each album you create. Keep your editing link somewhere useful so you can return to the configuration when your display needs a change.
Choose a layout for the way people will watch
A slideshow is a useful starting point for a television because each photo gets its own moment. Grid and Masonry layouts suit a gallery that people browse more closely. The best choice depends on the viewing distance and whether visitors will interact with the page.
Use Advanced Mode when you want more control over typography, colours, timing and the embed experience. Start with a simple layout, then add features individually. It is easier to judge whether dates, comments or an opening title help the presentation when you can compare them against a clean preview.
Try this: Preview a portrait photo and a landscape photo before finalising the display. A collection that looks good on your phone can feel different on a wide television.
Check the screen before leaving it running
Open the generated preview link on the browser or device connected to your screen. Try the available full screen and kiosk settings, then check the result from the distance your audience will normally watch. Browser support and device settings affect full screen behaviour and music autoplay, so test those on the actual equipment.
- Confirm that the first photos load successfully.
- Check the order and pace over a complete cycle.
- Add an approved test photo to the album and allow time for the next refresh.
- Decide whether music and comments improve the experience.
- Check the device’s sleep settings for the intended viewing session.
Automatic refresh is useful for a changing collection, but it should not be treated as an instant delivery guarantee. Leave time for uploads, connectivity and the next sync.
