If you’re tired of your name and photo in Zoom, you should know that it’s very easy to change it. This way you can diversify your style a bit.

What do you need to change or delete your name and profile photo on Zoom

Today, what you look like online is sometimes more important than how you look in real life. Therefore, no matter which social network you use, your profile is almost as valuable as the real face you show people when you meet them. It’s your profile that will make the first impression about you if you haven’t met before. This is just as irrefutable for Zoom as it’s for any other online communication app.

Often people create their accounts in a hurry due to some individual circumstances, not paying attention to the design when creating them. Later on, they begin to think about setting up their accounts in the way they see them.

Well, here’s how to change or delete your name and profile photo on Zoom.

How to change your name on Zoom

Sometimes people aren’t happy with their online nickname. It may not match your real name, be inconvenient to communicate with people, or just sound off-putting. Luckily, most social networks give you the option to change your name any way you want, and Zoom is no exception. It’s easy to do and can be done in a number of ways:

How to change your name on Zoom using Zoom web portal

When it comes to changing your name outside of conferences, you can do it in three places: the website, the desktop app, or the mobile app. To change your name on the website, you need to:

• Authorize on the Zoom web portal.
• In the left sidebar, click on “Profile”.
• Locate the “Edit” button to the right of your name.

• Next, you will be able to enter your full name and your display name. As the second name implies, this is what you will be seen by other users during the meeting.

• To confirm your changes, scroll down the page and click the “Save” button.

This is also where you can change your pronouns, title, location, and company if you wish. If you often use Zoom for work purposes, this may be useful for you.

How to change your profile photo on Zoom

For the same reasons you might want to change your name, you might want to do the same with your photo. For example, in the past you may have used Zoom only for studying, so you put a photo just to be recognizable to a teacher or professor in case you don’t have a camera.

However, when you came to work, you began to realize that the photo you put up as your profile avatar didn’t look presentable enough. In that case, it’s logical to replace it with a new one. Here’s how you do it on various devices:
