Android TVs and Google Assistant-powered smart displays are getting a new background collection comprising of photographs shot using Pixel devices. To use these ‘Captured on Pixel‘ images as the background, you’ll have to visit the Google Home settings for that particular device. On Android TV, you can find them within ‘Ambient Mode’, while it’s within the ‘Photo Frame’ menu on smart displays.

As pointed out by 9to5Google, Captured on Pixel will be in addition to the existing background options on Android TVs. It will be the fifth category under the ‘Art Gallery’ option, which currently has four categories. They include: ‘Featured Photos’ from stock photo services like Getty Images, ‘Fine Art’ from Google Arts & Culture, ‘Earth and Space’ from NASA and Google Earth, as well as ‘Street Art’ from Google Arts & Culture.
