  2. Choose which Google Photo Albums to follow

  3. SHOW ADVANCED settings

    1. Show photo description

    4. The desired number of images to show at a time

    Rename the app by clicking the name on top of the page.

    The best practice is to name the App to match the selected data source, in this case the name of the Google Photos folder you are using.
