Family photographs often stay on a phone long after the moment has passed. A shared-screen display gives them a place in everyday life: a holiday collection during dinner, a rotating set of family favourites in the lounge or a memory wall for a gathering. Advertise Me’s Slideshow Photos Album turns a shared Google Photos album into a presentation you can customise for that setting.
Choose an album you will enjoy revisiting
Start with a theme rather than every photo you own. A recent trip, a year of family highlights or a collection of grandparents’ favourite memories gives the display a clear focus. Remove duplicates and pictures that are too dark to enjoy from a distance.
Use a dedicated shared album and choose photographs suitable for everyone who may see the screen. The tool requires an album link that opens without a Google login, so it is useful to keep this display collection separate from your wider personal library.
Connect the album and create a preview
- Open your chosen album in Google Photos and enable link sharing.
- Check the copied link in a private browser window.
- Visit photos.advertiseme.tv and open Wizard.
- Paste the shared link, add an optional title and choose Slideshow.
- Pick a theme and decide whether you want dates, video playback, comments or music.
- Complete email verification and test the generated preview link on the device connected to your television.
The website presents home displays as one of its uses. The practical setup still depends on your equipment: check the browser and display device together, including full screen behaviour and how you will reopen the preview later.
Make the presentation comfortable to live with
A home display should suit the room. Use a pace that allows you to enjoy each picture without feeling rushed. Test portrait and landscape photographs, then adjust the layout or presentation settings where needed. Advanced Mode provides further controls for timing, typography, colours and the embed experience.
Dates can help place an old memory, while an opening title can introduce a holiday or family occasion. Music may work during a gathering, but a silent display often suits everyday use. If you enable sound, test the volume and playback on the actual device.
Try a short evening session: Run the album while you use the room normally. Notice whether the pacing, brightness and extra information feel comfortable.
Keep the collection fresh with a small routine
The tool’s automatic refresh means the display can follow changes to the shared album. Add a few new favourites after a weekend outing or family event, then check they appear after the next sync. A small, regularly reviewed collection is often more enjoyable than an album full of near-identical pictures.
Choose who can contribute through Google Photos and keep the display editing link available to the person managing the presentation. If younger family members or visiting friends appear in the collection, agree which photos are appropriate for the shared display.
- Review the album after adding a large batch of photos.
- Check the preview when you change layouts or timing.
- Use the television’s normal brightness and power controls for the session.
- Keep the display device connected while using the live album.
- Review link sharing when you change the audience.
This is a live web display, so test it with your usual home connection. Do not assume that a browser preview will provide an offline slideshow.
Frequently asked questions
Can I change which photos appear?
Manage the photographs in the shared Google Photos album and allow the display to refresh. Keep a dedicated album if you want a clear boundary around the collection.
Do I need music?
No. Audio is configurable, and a silent presentation is a useful option for shared living spaces.
Can the same album be displayed as a gallery?
The tool includes Grid and Masonry choices as well as Slideshow. Preview those when you want a browsable page instead of one photo at a time.
