Personalize your Zoom account by adding a Profile Picture, Personal Meeting ID, and Personal Link.

Adding a Profile Picture 

It is recommended that you have a profile photo for your Zoom account. When you turn your camera off everyone in the meeting will see your picture. This helps everyone to get to know who you are and create a sense of community in the online meeting. You can change you picture at any time. Some fun ideas include; using a photo that shows your personality, outdoor in the winter, on summer vacation, wearing your Bison shirt/hat, or anything that tells others who you are.
