When not in use, Chromecast displays a slideshow of seemingly random photos from around the world. What few people know is that the ability to change these photos does exist deep within the Chromecast settings.
If you’re using a Chromecast in a Ditto-enabled room, it’s rather handy to automatically display Ditto connection instructions on the Chromecast itself. To connect to Ditto, users only need to read the on-screen instructions.
To begin, you’ll need to download the background image for the room you’re setting up.
Obtain your Ditto connection instructions background image:
Once you’ve saved the image, you’ll need to add it to Google Photos.
Create two new Google Photo albums for each Chromecast you would like to set up:
Now that the room background is in albums, you can tell the Chromecast to only use a specified image for a screensaver or background.
Set a new background image for use with Chromecast and Ditto:
That’s it! The background image will now appear on the Chromecast you’re setting up. Perform these same steps for each Chromecast you would like to setup.
You can learn more about Ditto or begin your 30-day free Ditto trial at www.goditto.com.
