Android TV has a built-in screensaver feature, but it’s quite limiting in functionality. You can’t set your own images as a screensaver, neither can you customize the aspect ratio or change the transition effect. So if you are looking for a way to set custom screensavers on Android TV that also brings a range of new features then you have come to the right place. Just follow the steps below and you will be able to import your images and set them as your screensaver. The best part is that there is also an option to bring back Google Photos as your screensaver. So on that note, let’s go through the steps.
First of all, open the Play Store on your Android TV and search for “screensaver”. Now install Photo Gallery and Screensaver (Free, offers in-app purchases) app.
Here, open “Photo Sources“.
Now open Settings again and open “Set your screensaver“.
