Show image instead of video or name in zoom meetings
Setting up a profile picture in Zoom is easy. As a new user, you may not have done this yet, but now is the time. Once you set your photo, it will be displayed on the screen when your video is turned off.
Users of both mobile apps and PCs can follow these steps to complete their task.
Save picture instead of video or name in zoom on PC
PC users can change or add an image to their Zoom profile in two ways.
Method 1: Add picture before joining a meeting
Launch the Zoom app, click your name initials in the top right corner, and select “Change my picture” from the menu to update your profile photo.
To access the web version of Zoom, click ‘Change’ on the picture icon.
Click Upload, add a photo, adjust it to display the desired area, and click Save.
Once you’ve saved your image, open the Zoom desktop app to find it in the top right corner.
To join or leave a meeting, you can turn off your video by clicking “Turn off my video” or right-clicking and selecting “Stop Video.”
The video will be replaced by an image of your choice.
Method 2: add picture to a zoom meeting
Right-click on your video preview screen during a Zoom meeting to add or edit your profile picture. Stopping the video will then reveal the photo.
Show image instead of video in zoom Mobile Apps
Launch the Zoom app on your Android or iPhone, then tap the Settings tab at the bottom and your name to access settings.
Tap your profile picture to add an image from your gallery or take a new photo.
To ensure privacy and security, Zoom users should turn off their video before joining a meeting or tap the Stop Video option at the bottom.
How to Delete profile picture
If you’re looking to remove your profile picture from Zoom, the web version is the way to go. Log in at web.zoom.us, click ‘My account’ at the top of the page, and select ‘Delete’ beneath your image. Mobile apps don’t offer this option.
Tips and Tricks for profile picture
Zoom users can enhance their virtual meetings with images by following these tips: adjust the size of the image, use a high-resolution image, and make sure the image is not too distracting.
View someone else’s profile picture
As host of a meeting, you can view a participant’s profile picture by pausing their video. To do this, right-click on the video preview screen and select Stop Video. You must then give permission for the participant to show their video again as they cannot do so independently.
Hide participants with profile picture
You can hide participants from view if their video is disabled, though they remain part of the call and can still see your video if it’s enabled.
Right-click the window preview of a participant in your meeting to hide all non-video participants. Select “Hide non-video participants” for a streamlined video experience.
Click “Total Non-Video Participants” at the top to view those without video.
Always show profile picture
Zoom offers a feature that allows users to keep their video off, so they don’t have to turn it off each time they join a meeting. This ensures that others will only see their profile picture.
To disable your video in Zoom, simply go to the Video tab in the app’s settings and tick the box next to ‘Turn off my video when I join a meeting’.
