Embedding Google Photos album to HTML [closed]

I have an images slideshow that is based on a Picasa widget.

A few months ago Picasa stopped working and everything moved to Google Photos & Google Drive.

Iv'e searched the web for a compatible widget that will corporate with Google Photos without any luck.

I'm looking for such (simple) widget that works with Google Photos for showing my images as a slideshow.

Any suggestions?

Insert link to sharing of your Google Photos album. Enter a valid URL copied from Google Photos and press the button to open the tool for setting up and creating code that you can embed on websites.

Go to photos.google.com, open any picture and click Share > Create Link to get a shareable link of that image. Paste that Google Photos link in the box below to generate the HTML embed code.

Sorry, but albums cannot be made public and photos cannot be shared by their individual links.

I was just looking for a way to do this myself and found that the easiest way would be using Google Drive to store the photos instead and then embedding them with HTML as per the instructions here: https://confluence.biola.edu/display/itservices/How+to+Embed+Images+from+Google+Drive+in+a+Web+Page

It may need some styling or free source code to look like a slideshow (or copy part of the iframe code from YouTube's embed button perhaps?)
