* Your Google Photos and Albums
Note: Albums shared by others are not supported
* Some background photos used by Chromecast

Note: Photos from the local file system are not supported.

Many options are available to control the appearance of the slide show, including:

* Wait time after machine becomes idle to display screensaver
* Between photo time interval
* Photo display mode - (e.g., letterbox, fill screen)
* Photo transition animations - (e.g., fade, scale up)
* The "Ken Burns" effect with face detection
* A scheduler to control when the screensaver, display, and computer should remain on
* Do not display over full screen Chrome windows (e.g., YouTube, Netflix)
* Show on all displays
* Display current weather
* Display time

Works great on all platforms but may be especially useful for your Chromebook.

There seems to be a bug where photos look garbled when running at Windows in portrait mode.

I have been using it for a while and it does exactly what its called for.

Terry Canaan 2022-01-11

I hate that I had to install it to see what sources were supported. Is there some law against making a list of those sources and putting them here?

Kevin Foor, Jr. 2022-01-06

This is a great screen saver Chrome extension. I really do enjoy it, good job opus1269! 👍 👍

Bruce Davidson 2021-12-27

1. The instructions and options no longer match the settings ui. 2. I expect it to work like the built in screensaver and cover over the lock screen,, but it doesn't. Great options, but doesn't (no longer?) work.

Sabyasachi Banerjee 2021-12-16

Great for a selectable slideshow from my Google Photos. Quite a nifty extension.

класс !!!!!

A godsend on chromebooks! I never expected this from a chrome extension, but it works so well, it is amazing. The built-in sources provide great photos. And to top it all, by adjusting a few settings it is easy to get a Ken Burns effect (use zoom as display mode, and only fade for transitions). I am even using it on my Windows machine, instead of the much older Motion Picture and Nostalgic screensavers.

Suits my needs! Was looking for a way to incorporate Google Photos into a screensaver and this easily delivers!

Nick Liang 2021-07-24

well done

Abel Santiago Cortés 2021-05-22

DAVID WONG 2020-12-15

it is good and bad, when i want to add another album, it only show 20+ but i have more than 100 album that i cannot find them. try to report bug, and there is bug in the system.

Christian Cohrs 2020-12-11

Sehr zufrieden, macht was es soll!

Joachim Geeraert 2020-12-01

a must

David Woodard 2020-11-20

I found that I couldn't keep my eyes off it once the slideshow started. Absolutely fantastic. It's like taking a trip around the world and everywhere in between with the graphical pictures. The really neat part of the screensaver is that you barely see the same photo twice in a night. Thanks.

Christopher Grenness 2020-10-02

Use it all the time to show me photos from one of my Google Photos albums. One feature request: 'date taken' from Exif data, so that it shows when each photo was taken. Optionally, of course.

YSC. Watchdog 2020-09-15

Great, I love it!

Erik Wessing 2020-09-07

It was great. Then it stopped being able to access Google Photos. Then it could again. Now it can, but it won't stay logged in, so after a while it freezes on just the last picture it downloaded until I grant it access again. Takes less than a day to lose access again.

Dave Hill 2020-08-27

Does what it says on the tin, and makes my computer into a live photo album when not in use. The album selection is sometimes a little wonky, and it would be nice for those of us with lots of albums to be able to search for a given album name, but all in all very satisfied.

Isaiah O'Brien 2020-08-13

Amazing

Shaun Teacher 2020-08-04

Simply doesn't work for me. Great idea, but just doesn't work.

Andrew Galli 2020-07-27

Some issues... 1 - Dual Monitor Mode -- does not control both monitors, only external monitor 2 - Youtube -- goes to sleep DURING Youtube videos if you don't move your mouse around while you watch. Not a bad product, but it is a bit annoying with the Youtube thing. I can set the sleep mode to 15 minutes I suppose and then most of what I watch is okay.

Paul Cox 2020-07-16

Absolutely love this screensaver extension. Works perfectly and super easy to use. Highly recommend all Chromebook users to use it.

Larry Huddleston 2020-07-10

Great for a few minutes then it goes down....Boo.

Carla Ramos Millan 2020-07-05

Aquesta aplicació és perfecta. Quan tens el teu ordinador o portàtil engegat, i t'has descuidat de aturar-lo temporalment, aquesta aplicació o fa sense que ho demanis. Selecciones el temps que vols que sortiguen les imatges i surten soles! Les imatges són espectaculars, de molt bona qualitat, i amb moltes variacions: paisatges, animals... 💦🐘🦁🐅🐍🌻🍀🌙🌎🌊☔🌄🌅 La recomano molt, es perfecta! 👏👏😁👌💓💓✔ M'encanta.

It's VERY good. Allows screensavers for my Chromebook. I wish I could import from my computer and other sources, and allow videos and animations as screensavers.

Jordan Andersen 2020-07-04

Superb in every way, for being free, and I like the photos. A+++

Jody Botha 2020-06-29

First class extension really.

Tim Richmond 2020-06-27

I got a Google Smart Display that showed my Google Photo Albums on a small screen. I liked it so I looked for something to do it on my big desktop screen and found this - love it - rediscover years of old pictures and memories.

Shawn Hinkle 2020-06-25

Exceptional Extension. Love that it gave the ability to add a screensaver to my chromebox. Great number of custom setting available.

Santhosh Kumar 2020-04-16

good

Frans Putuhena 2020-03-27

Top!!!

Greg Kilgore 2020-03-22

Really great, solid extension. My images randomize, fade in/out, and give me the slideshow I want without a hitch. Just what I want the way I want it! Thanks for the excellence!

Remy Steele 2020-03-20

I love this extension it works perfectly

Jeff Henderson 2020-03-19

Everything is great; my only change suggestion is to move the displayed text around so it won't burn into some screens.

Darrius Kelly 2020-03-03

I like it, just get annoyed at the fact that, with the SLIGHTEST touch, it wakes back up. Maybe it's just me.

Jose Sobrinho 2020-02-15

Excellent excellent. Many features, beautiful, thank you!

Андрей Блажевич 2020-02-05

Super!

Nicholas 2020-01-26

Extension worked well for some time, but now will not go to fullscreen mode. The photos are displayed inside of the browser. All of the outside of the page remains visible. It is not appealing. Here is a screenshot of what I see: http://prntscr.com/qs3jr6. Photos look like this on every system with Chrome. I will attempt downgrading my Chrome browser, to see if that changes anything. It is surprising that many reviews have not been made for this issue (others not experiencing?). I have attempted uninstalling and reinstalling the extension, to no effect (this changed nothing).

Paul Murphy 2020-01-22

l love this extension, it does exactly what I want it to do. I like having a screensaver activate after a certain period of inactivity on my Chromebook and cycle through a variety of high quality photos. It acts like a PC screensaver, and I really didn't think I'd be able to find something that would work that way on a Chromebook. Nice!

김주관 2020-01-20

훌륭한 프로그램을 제작해 공개해 주신 제작자에게 감사를 전합니다.

Jordan Custer 2020-01-08

works great, just have to figure out your screens resolution dimensions, and take framed off. perfect full pictures then. great job!

silvia ramon 2020-01-07

no la entiendo

K Allen tornadohunter006 2020-01-02

If it did what it said it did, I'd give it more than 2 stars and I'm being nice. Not ONE picture from my Google photos and I tried every option this has. So here's what I'm gonna do - UNINSTALL IT!!

Kevin Turner 2019-12-28

This screesaver works very well and is easy to use!

Lockmen Markouch 2019-12-28

Er moet een optie komen om zelf je eigen afbeelding te kunnen selecteren.

Yohei Maeshima 2019-12-11

Good, but I want to use it for sub display while I'm using computer in main display.
