Google Home now shows the option to use Google Photos for ambient mode/screensaver for Mibox. Having troubles getting it to work.

Using the Google Home app, it shows my MIBOX3 now has a new option to customize Ambient Mode (Screensaver) to use Google Photos albums. But when I launch the screensaver from my Mibox, I only see stock Google images. any suggestions?

I noticed this recently as well. I set it up through Google home but it doesn't appear to actually do anything.

Think it's just the screensaver when Chromecast casting to the device. Not the Android TV screensaver.

I just posted about this yesterday, it simply doesn't work.

In my experience, for some weird reason it won't work with google photos but it will work with the experimental Facebook photos feature where you can pick a Facebook album to use for backdrop.
