How do I submit pics I've taken to become Android Screensaver pics

by CyberStormZA

So I am an avid photographer and have taken some pics that I would love to submit for inclusion as part of the Android screensavers (Those amazing pics of landscapes that you see when your Android box is idle)

Only thing I have no idea how to go about doing this. I was hoping someone on here might know and point me in the right direction?

Apologies if this has been asked before.

Don’t think it’s possible. Nearly every single one of those screensaver photos were taken by software engineers at Google when you look their names up.

There is an app called something along the lines of ‘photo gallery and screensaver’ though, that would let you set your own photographs (on your device only, of course).

People have completely misunderstood your post.

Google will most likely be using stock photography or have paid little/nothing for the use of those images.

Whilst many people would see your name - I don’t really find many of the images used to be particularly breathtaking or unique.

I recommend entering online photo competitions instead or maybe just drop an email or LinkedIn message to a Google developer and just ask. No harm done there.

Just woke up and totally couldn’t figure out what you would want Arnold Schwarzenegger pics for. 😅

We do this but you need to use Google Photos on a mobile device logged into the same account as your TV to set it up.

In the Google Photos app

Create a new Album (or shared Album, we do this and we all add photos to the TV screensaver album) and add some pics, call it something obvious like TV Screensaver Album

Go to Library / Utilities / Manage photo frames. Select your Android TV device and select your newly created album.

Done!

On your TV trust it out by running the Pics screensaver, it might show stock photos first.

Enjoy

Edit: I guess you could do this in a browser as well.

The app I use is Slideshow for Google Photos for a photo type screensaver.

If you want to share your photos with others for a photo-type screensaver. 500px Photo Sharing app that can be used as a screensaver too.
