Photoview App link – Access Google Photos on Roku

In this guide Roku users will learn how to access their Photo Albums stored on their Google Photo accounts using the Photoviewapp.com/link website.  The site was created to make it easy for anyone to login to their Google accounts to view their pics and videos linked to their Roku device.

The Roku device will turn your pics into screensavers allowing for playback for years to come.  Your photos can be streamed directly to your Roku even when the device is not active.

How to display videos on the Photo View screensaver?

A video cannot be displayed as a screensaver on Roku at this time

Why are images not showing in full UHD?

Roku supports 4K videos, but only displays images up to 1080p (FHD) resolution as of now. As a result, if you select UHD, you are likely not to see 4K quality. Even though Roku downsizes this option to 1080p, it still provides a better quality image. I hope a future upgrade to the Roku OS will change this.
