In the interim, to utilize something from Google Photos as a wallpaper on Chrome OS today, you need to download the picture and physically set it as your experience.
There additionally isn’t a choice to pivot through a neighborhood organizer of pictures.
As indicated by a recently posted code change, Chrome OS’s Wallpapers application is set to get a full incorporation with Google Photos.
Once complete, Google Photos will show up among the “assortments” accessible in the Wallpapers application, close by choices like “Pastry time,” “Cityscapes,” and “Nearby pictures.”
This CL adds the feature flag to gate Google Photos integration in the wallpaper app. It uses the flag to reserve a new tile in the existing <collections-grid> that will serve as the entry point for the new integration. Note that the new tile will be in a perpetual loading for the time being.
Note that the new tile will be in a never-ending stacking until further notice.
Remarkably, the Google Photos choice is just being made accessible for the forthcoming upgrade of the Chrome OS Wallpapers application.

Once the the integration goes live,, “Google Photos” will be accessible in the subsequent opening.

Things will turn out to be all the more clear as the element is slowly evolved.
For comparison, Chrome OS as of now has some Google Photos capacities in its screensaver choice which can push through a collection fitting your personal preference.
It would be an astonishment if the Wallpapers application wasn’t essentially that skilled.
