Display a photo rather than my name in meetings with video turned off

You can add a profile picture in your Zoom profile.  Check out this support article for full instructions:

Hi @dwrogers 

This is simple enough. 

First, go to your Profile page on the web and upload a profile picture. 

Once that is done, as long as you join the meeting already signed-in to your account, it should display your profile picture. I'd recommend downloading and installing the desktop client, then signing in to your account to ensure you're always joining a meeting with your account. 

Hope that helps and please make sure to mark the solution as accepted if this information is what you needed.

Hi dwrogers,

You can add a profile picture by logging in to your Zoom web portal (https://zoom.us) and then going to Profile from the left side navigation menu. On this page, you can hover over the spot for the profile photo, click the pencil icon, and then add, change, or delete the image. You can also refer to our help center article here.

When you add an image, this will now display to meeting participants when you're in a meeting and your video is off.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the QUICK responses! I already have a photo in my profile!

(It looks like I have more hair than I do.)

There are some participants with photos (at meetings I attend) but most have just their name. I will try again tomorrow.

Hi @dwrogers , 

It could be that the photo has not synced to your desktop client. I'd suggest re-uploading your profile picture on the Profile page, then sign-out and back in on the desktop client. That typically forces the desktop client to pull your profile info from the web. 

Why must I be logged in? I can't log in before joining a session and then it's too late. Why when I join a zoom does my name come up but not my photo? It doesn't make any sense?

Is there no one that can answer this? 

OK I’ve got it now. There should be an arrow that pops up while you are within the meeting that will allow you to sign in. That way if you join with a link sent by someone, if you sign in from within the meeting to Zoom, the profile photo will populate and then it should give you option to return to the meeting.
