In iOS there is a button to play movies of Memories, however on my Mac there is no such button.
The Memory starts to play but isn't full screen.
How do I play the Memory like I can on iOS?
Also, can Memories be shared from my Mac on shared albums and/or sync'd with my iOS devices?
Thank you
MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS Sierra (10.12), + iPhone 6 Plus & iPad Air 2
Memory movies only work on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple TV. You won't see Memory movies on your Mac.
To answer your question about sharing Memories, take a look at this information:
Save and share your favorite memories
Want to save a memory for later? Scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap or click Add to Favorite Memories. You'll find it in the Favorite Memories album of your Photos app. If you decide that you don't want to save a Memory anymore, tap or click Remove from Favorite Memories.
When you add a Memory to your Favorites, you preserve it and keep it from going away when Photos creates new Memories.
You can also share your unforgettable experiences with friends and family. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you can share Memory movies just like you would share any other video. Play a Memory movie, then tap on it to show the editing and sharing options. Tap
and choose to share the movie via Messages, Mail, iCloud Photo Sharing, Facebook, YouTube, and more.
On your Mac, you can share the photos and videos that are contained in a Memory. Click
to share through Mail, Messages, iCloud Photo Sharing, Facebook, and more.

If you want to get the same Memories on all of your Apple devices:
- Set up iCloud on all of your devices.

- Turn on iCloud Photo Library on all of your devices that you want to use with Memories.
- Update your Apple TV (4th generation) to tvOS 10 or later.

If you are not using ICLP then nothing syncs between devices - any other transfer is a describe single time transfer not a sync

Thanks for your response - are you from Apple? I've not seen the phrase "Community Specialist" before. If so, this is the first time I've seen a response from Apple on these forums.
It's disappointing there is no movie functionality for Memories on my Mac. Hence it's not really any different to creating an album or, at best, Photos is predicting what albums I might like to create. In contrast, I find the movies of Memories on my iOS devices a useful addition as it's something I wouldn't otherwise find the time to do.
On your point about syncing Memories between iOS devices, does this mean that if I have iCloud Photo Library activated Memories movies are sync'd but if I don't have ICPL the Memories movies aren't sync'd? (if that's right then presumably I'll have to sync an album from my Mac to my iOS devices and then create the Memories movie locally on each iOS device, which would be a long work round)
The Memory starts to play but isn't full screen.
This might be a bug. When I click the ▶︎ button in the toolbar while viewing a memory, the slideshow controls open and I an view the memory fullscreen. But to save it as a video, I have to select all photos and create a slideshow project.
Yes I found the same.
If I press play then the movie appears in full screen.
