How to Set Custom Screensavers on Android TV – Guide
Android TV devices like Nexus Player and Nvidia Shield TV have always had beautiful wallpapers as their default screensavers. However, until recently, these “backdrop” images were not always resizable on Android TV. Google renamed its Chromecast app to “Google Cast” a few months ago, and that signaled some changes for Android TV devices. Now, users can resize these images to fit their needs. ..
This Google Cast app has a lot of new features that are not available on the Chromecast. One of the biggest features is that it can be used to add custom fonts for the Backdrop screensaver. Selected news, fine art, satellite imagery and even weather data can now be added to the screensaver on your Android TV.
Steps to set custom image as your Android TV’s screensaver
Android TV’s Play Store offers a ‘Photo Gallery & Screensaver’ app for free. Once installed, this app will allow you to view your photos and videos on your TV screen while they are playing in the background. ..
In the ‘Settings’ of this app, you can change how your phone works.
A new window will open with various options. Choose the ‘Photo Sources’ option to see a list of sources for photos you have taken.
After choosing the ‘Photo Sources’, we can see a brunch of options for the screensaver. Now, if you want to use your custom image, scroll down and click on the ‘Local’ option. But in case you want to use your Google Photos, you can choose the Google Photos option. ..
After clicking on the ‘Add local directory’ button, you will see a pop-up asking permission to access photos on your device. If you allow access, you will be able to see a list of photos that are stored on your device.
You can see the ‘Internal Storage’ option, click on this option.
After that, you have to click on ‘Choose Current Dictionary’ at the top. Now you have finally added all your Android TV local storage to the app.
In the ‘Settings’ option, you can set your screen saver to be a specific time or image.
The photo gallery will open and you can choose one of the following screensavers:
- A beautiful sunset over the ocean.
- A beautiful sunrise over the ocean.
- A beautiful day in nature with bright colors and a warm breeze.
After that, you have to click on the ‘Default Your Settings’ option in the ‘Start Screensaver’ section. This will allow you to test the custom screensaver. ..
Your custom image will now be active as the screensaver on your Android TV. The app will launch the custom screensavers on your Android TV based on the idle time you set.
If the app is not showing your photos, please try to sync them with our local dictionary.
