And in this article we will talk to you about a very popular App to communicate, such as Zoom, and we will tell you how you can remove your profile picture and change it to another.
Zoom is an ideal platform to communicate with people from different parts of the planet and it is also ideal for group video calls. But we may not know some basic functions or we simply do not know how to make simple changes, such as changing the profile name of our Zoom account and thus personalizing it.
But in the following article we are going to show you something that you may think is not possible to do and it is about changing your profile picture. Since once you created your Zoom account, to get out of trouble you put a photo that you did not like very much. But don’t worry, below we will show you how easy it can be to make this change and what aspects you should assess before doing so.
What should you know if you want to delete the Zoom profile photo?
Before carrying out this or any other change in your Zoom profile, it is necessary that you know or keep in mind some important aspects. And in this way you do not have problems with the application in the future, among these aspects we can mention the following.
You can not leave the profile picture empty
One of the aspects that you should certainly be clear about with Zoom is that it will not allow you to not place a profile photo for any reason. This point is explicit in its policy and there must be a photo that identifies each of the users. In this way there will always be an image that helps you clearly recognize who you are talking to without having to see their profile name.
You will have to crop the photo if it does not fit well
When you want to change the photo of your profile profile, you will need to adjust it to the dimensions allowed by the application. Therefore by means of the ‘Change’ option you can perfectly change the orientation of the photo. Or if it is too big, cut it in such a way that it can fit in the determined area to place your user photo.
How can I remove my Zoom profile picture?
Now, Zoom is a very versatile application and can be used from mobile devices or personal computers. And from any of these teams you can make the change of the profile picture. And you will be amazed at how simple it will be, as much as changing the Spanish language in Zoom. Next, we will indicate the steps to follow:
On an Android or iOS mobile device
The steps that we will indicate here will work perfectly on any mobile device you use. In other words, it does not matter if it works with the iOS or Android operating system, since the changes will be made directly in the Zoom application. To begin, we will enter the App and start our session in the way we usually do.
Being inside our profile, we will go to the bottom of the screen and click on the ‘Settings’ tab. The next step is to select your Zoom account and then click on the ‘Profile photo’ option. The options you have to change the photo will be displayed on the screen, these are ‘Take photo’ and ‘Choose photo’.
This way you can take a photo of yourself with your smartphone camera or choose an existing photo from the gallery. Having made your choice, you must now adjust the photo so that it enters the box without problems. To finish, you just have to click on the Done option and in this simple way you have changed your Zoom profile photo from your mobile.
From the computer
From your personal computer it is also possible to change the photo of your Zoom profile and to achieve this you must do the following. Enter the Zoom application that you have downloaded and now go to the right side of the screen and there you will locate a gear-shaped icon, by clicking on it you will enter the configuration window which shows you several options to choose from.
In our case we will search for and select the ‘Profile’ option found in the left panel. This action will display new options, but now on the right of your screen and you are going to click on the ‘Edit profile’ option. Now you will be taken to a new window and in it you need to click on the ‘Change’ option.
You will then receive a message on the screen indicating that the photo you will use for your profile must not exceed 2 MB. If everything is correct you should choose the option ‘Upload,’ this action will open the folder where you have the photo, once you select it, click ‘Open’. Then adjust the image and to finish click on the ‘Save’ option.
Why is my previous profile picture showing on Zoom?
Once you have made the change to your Zoom profile photo, it will be displayed automatically. But there may be a possibility that this change is not reflected at the moment and then we suggest you do the following. Close the Zoom program and after a few minutes, go back into the application and now you can see the new photo on your profile.
