Photo Stream Google Albums

I hooked up Google Photos / Albums to Photo Stream - BUT only a few of my Albums are showing up on Phot Stream (not the ones I want to see / show). Trying to do Slideshows of Albums, some 300+ pictures that are on Google Phot Albums.

    Hi meinhardg,

    Welcome to the Roku Community!

    Thank you for letting us know that you are unable to view your desired photos in the photo stream on your Roku. No worries, I'm more than happy to provide you with more information about this.

    You can upload up to 100 photos to each stream in JPG, PNG, HEIC, and WEBP formats. However, a stream may not allow 100 photos if the storage limit for the Roku account has been exceeded.

    How to view a slideshow on your TV:

    1. Press Home on your Roku remote
    2. Use the directional pad to move to the right and highlight the Photo Streams channel. The directional pad is plus-shaped and is in the center of your Roku remote.
    3. Press OK to launch the channel
    4. Each row is an individual Photo Stream. Move down the screen and find the stream you want to view.
    5. Select a photo to see it larger
    6. Select Slideshow to see all images in the stream

    During a slideshow, each photo appears for 10 seconds and the stream loops in a random order.

    For reference, you can visit this support article: How to use Photo Streams on your Roku streaming device

    Please let us know if these troubleshooting steps help you.

    Regards,
    Riamie

      I think I understand Phot Stream - Issue is NOT ALL Albums from Google show to select for a Stream. This should not be an issue with storage. When the Albums show there seems to be a limit???

      OK 100 photos is the maximum that is not good, most albums have more than 100.

      BUT there is a problem when selecting albums from Google - not every album shows up!

      What is that problem????

    I am also having this problem, 10 months later, is this not something you can fix?  I have tried everything and Roku just will NOT see ALL my albums.  There are albums I want to use that it is not seeing, please fix this.
