Google Photos - Activate and use

Easiest way for activating a content App is from Valotalive Dashboard. Just click the icon of the content you wish to activate and proceed. More detailed info of the first steps can be found here:

Settings on the Apps' Configuration tab

  1. Authorize using OAuth2 Authorization

    Note: During your first Google authorization you must select what Valotalive has access to. By default nothing is selected, and you will need to choose 'View Your Google Photos Library' or the authorization will fail.

  2. Choose which Google Photo Albums to follow

  3. SHOW ADVANCED settings

    1. Show photo description

    2. Call to action

      Clicking the item will open the assigned web page.

    3. Seconds per article

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

  4. Rename the App

    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.

Complete the work by adding the app to a flow or directly to a display.
