How do you get your profile photo in Zoom? And how do you change it or get rid
of it all together? I'm going to show you how to do all of those right now. So, if
you want to set up your profile photo you can do it before you join a meeting or
you can actually do it during a meeting if you kind of forgot to do it before.
First, you log in to Zoom. You can either connect to the Zoom app or log in
through the URL (https://zoom.us) and you go to "My Account." You do not have to be connected into a
Zoom meeting it needs to simply go to personal profile and then you can go
there is where you set your photo now that's currently set that's blank at the
moment. So, let's see what that looks like when I actually log into a Zoom meeting.
I'm going to start a Zoom meeting here
and hey! My photo didn't come up! And my video didn't come up either because I've
got my meeting set to start the meeting, join a meeting without me
starting video. But I'm going to start the video now. Hey
here I am I'm now on video. Now watch what happens when I hit "Stop Video." Okay?
It just comes up with my name not with my photo. Now, I can go back into Preferences
and—as I showed you before—log into Zoom then go into Preferences and to Profile
into Personal and then profile and I can add a photo or I can just do it here.
Watch this! Go to Manage Participants. I'm the host of this meeting and I'm
clicking here I am. Here's the host. See! It's just got that my initials
there. [Clicks "More" button]. I'm going to go "Add profile picture." Now I took a picture just before
this meeting. So, there it is. I haven't touched it up or anything but
there is my picture. Now one thing is it's a good idea to have
a headshot. Ideally don't have other things like don't be wearing a scuba
diving suit or have a hockey stick in your hand or maybe not
you standing up or with your dog or with a whole lot of people in the
background. It's up to you, but these profile photos can be pretty small in a
Zoom meeting so you really want people to be able to make that connection with
you. And you can just adjust the size of it and so on. I'm not going to do that so
I'm going to hit save or I could actually change the picture to another one. I'm
going to hit Save there. And there is my picture in place. Now, when I click "Start
Video" there we are! [Displays profile photo] I've started the video again. I'm still
in the meeting but the video wasn't running. Now, when I Stop Video [clicks button] instead of
having my name, it comes up with my picture. All right. When I end that
meeting or leave the meeting then when I go into my profile in Zoom
that picture is already there. Let me just refresh that [presses browser Refresh button] and you can see that
my picture is there. So, very, very simple and you can change your picture. And one
last thing. Let me let me show you something really fun here is that when I
connect into Zoom I can actually rename, when I join the meeting I'm going to
start the meeting myself, I can actually rename myself just within that
meeting. Okay? So, if I want to call myself I just go into here "Manage Participants"
and then here [clicks "More] and I can rename myself. So, instead of saying
"Anthony English" I can give myself a new name. "Scooby Doo." But that's not
permanent. That's only just for that meeting, alright? Hope you enjoyed this. If
you did then I give a lot of tips on how to run a business and work
from home, so subscribe to this channel (if you haven't already). Thanks for
watching. I'm Anthony English.
