scheduling on chromecast
On a Chromecast, when you’re displaying photos, there’s really no need (or way) to “set a schedule” in the traditional sense. The Chromecast displays photos when in ambient mode (as long as it’s configured to do so; more on that below), which it will automatically record if it’s turned on and you’re not casting anything. Huh.
Google will randomly shuffle through your Google Photos images, so you won’t be handing them an order yourself. Accordingly, when using the Chromecast to show off your photos it’s best not to select images that actually require context to be displayed in a certain sequence.
So, as long as your Chromecast is on, your photos will pop up automatically. Also, since Chromecasts are often powered by the TV’s USB connection, all you have to do to turn on Chromecast is turn on your TV, assuming your Chromecast’s input is selected on your TV.
On top of all that, you can also use virtual assistant services like Google Home to turn on your TV, if you have a compatible TV, which means turning on your TV, your Chromecast, and watching your slideshow. The whole process of starting can be done. With one app or completely handsfree whenever you want.
