As you can see from the settings image above, it can load images from the web, rss, or your local machine. You can bulk select them from your desktop on PC using explorer and drag them. I really like the Google Photos Screensaver because of it’s excellent visual effects options like the “ Ken Burns effect” aka “ Pan and Zoom“:Īnd it works great on dual monitors too by showing different pictures on both. The solution I discovered is to simply create a Google photos album.
