Personalized Screensaver and Cards in Google TV
Google First announced in November 2021 that “proactive personal results” are an upcoming feature of Google TV’s screensaver. It usually only displays images in a slideshow taken from different galleries or the user’s own Google Photos library. Google initially informed us that the”new “cards” in Ambient Mode were expected to begin rolling out in December of the previous year. However, they didn’t appear on a broad basis.
Personalized Cards
We’ve been awaiting Google TV’s brand-new “glanceable cards” screensaver to become available on actual devices for over six months. While it’s not a massive launch, it’s exciting to see it arrive in users in a specific capacity. The team at 9to5Google spotted the card on the Mecool MK3 device but could not activate them on another device. It’s not showing up on my Chromecast using Google TV and on a TCL six-series television.
The redesigned screensaver was thought to have “glanceable” details, including weather and news, sports scores, news, and other personalized information. Music apps like Spotify and podcasts provided by Google Podcasts were also scheduled to be displayed within the carousel.
Availability
It could be an old-fashioned server-side upgrade by Google based on inaccessibility. It’ll notify you that “proactive personal results are now on if you’re among those users.” The Google I/O 2022 conference launch is only a few days away; we hope an even bigger launch is short. Perhaps profiles will be in the works for an announcement this week.
