How to use Live Albums on Google Home Hub

Live Albums is a new feature of Google Photos that will keep albums updated with new photos of selected people. On the Google Home Hub, Live Album is a display option to turn your device into a smart photo frame.

Live Album is basically a way to create smart photo albums. The "Live" part of this new feature means that it automatically happens when a face that matches a selection is detected by Google's AI. For example, if you want to display your child's photos on the Home Hub in the living room, Live Album will automatically add new photos without you having to manually update them.

Live Albums is an improvement built into Google Photos and not exclusive to the Home Hub. In fact, the Home Hub is basically just a screen for Live Albums. You will need to configure the albums on the Google Photos website or from apps for iOS and Android.
