Shuffle photos in Roku Photo Streams

I'm trying to get my photos to display in random order using Roku Photo Streams. I read that pressing the * (Star) button should bring up a shuffle option, but I don't see it when I try. Is there another way to shuffle or randomize the photo display?

    Hi, jack131​

    We understand that you prefer your Photo Streams photos to appear in a random order. We're here to give you more information.

    The Roku Photo Stream app does not have a feature or setting to randomize photos from your album. However, you can achieve randomness by creating multiple albums and placing one photo in each album. This way, the photos will play in a random order instead of sequentially.

    Hope this helps.

    How can I make Photo Streams display my photos randomly or shuffle? I tried the Star button and it doesn’t give me a shuffle option like it says it should on Google.

      Hello, ClimberDave​ & inam555​

      Thanks for reaching out!

      We are here to assist you with your question about shuffling the photos on your Roku Photo Stream.

      Roku Photo Stream does not have a setting for shuffling photos. But the good news is, once your photos are in the stream, they will automatically and randomly play during slideshows.

      Thank you for your understanding.

        Photo's DO NOT shuffle...the SAME photo's displays all the time...

        I have over 125 photo's and see the same ones on the photo stream.

    How can I get Photo Streams to display my photos in random order or shuffle them?
    I tried using the Star button, but it doesn’t show a shuffle option like some Google results suggest it should. Am I missing something?

    Let me know if you want it to sound more casual or detailed!
