How to Access Google Photos on Google TV

Are you searching for ways to view Google Photos on your Google TV device? You’ve landed in the right place. Google Photos is a reliable way to store and sync your album in one place. You can also use this platform to share your Google gallery with others. By enabling the auto-backup feature, it will automatically sync your pictures to the cloud or Google Drive. You can choose the albums that need to be backup automatically. Google Photos will sync your photos in three different types:

How to Cast and View Google Photos to Chromecast with Google TV

As the Android app is designed for touch devices, you may not have great control over the Google TV remote. It is better to cast Google Photos from your smartphone (Android or iPhone) in those situations.

{1} Connect your devices (Android/iPhone and Google TV) to the same WiFi network.

{2} Open the Google Photos app on your smartphone and ensure that you’re logged in.

• Android – Google Play Store
• iPhone – App Store

{3} Click the Cast icon on the top right corner of the app.

{4} Choose your Google TV device.

{5} Now, play your favorite Google album & videos and watch them on your Google TV-connected TV screen.

As Google Photos is not available for Google TV, these are the two reliable ways to view your pictures and videos on bigger screens. You can use the Chrome browser on a Mac or Windows PC to cast the Google Photos. Likewise, you can sideload Google Photos using ES File Explorer.
