How to enhance Ambient Mode with your Stadia screenshots

Hi guys,

Wanted to share an idea that currently is missing on Stadia with Chromecast Ultra; the Ambient Mode does not show in-game screenshots or videos.

As workaround I downloaded some of my screenshots plus some other game photos, then uploaded them to Google Photos in a separate folder. Start the Google Home app, select your Chromecast Ultra and in the Ambient Mode settings choose the image folder as backdrop.

My current collection is available here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/P1PePeDhK3eK5G9MA in case you want to use some of them for your own backdrop. All images are scaled to 4K and saved as 16bit PNG

Hey @Goagloba 

 

Cool Stadia setup :slightly_smiling_face:

The idea is really brilliant, finally using it for the screenshots of Stadia, thanks for your instructions :slightly_smiling_face:

But would you like to submit that as feedback that you can implement it directly via a function?

You can submit feedback via the Stadia menu

Hi @defischerrockt :waving_hand:

Thanks for feedback! I was not really looking for bumping this in the work queue for Stadia DEV team - just saw it as an enhancement and wanted to share in case someone wanted to decorate their TV :television::glowing_star:
