How do I watch my laptop photos on my TV with Chromecast?

how do I watch my laptop photos on my TV with Chromecast?

I have a chromecast and would like to see the photos, etc on my laptop on TV. Do I have to purchase an app to make this happen? Do I need an app like Dayframe2.0 which seems to get poor reviews?

Depending on where you photos are stored, say with Google photos, you should be able to cast the screen to your chromecast. The only thing you would need is the Google cast extension on Chrome, if that is the browser you are using.
