Edit your profile

Editing your profile lets you adjust the details of your account and gives a better description of who you are to your team members. The following instructions show you how to change your name, choose an avatar, select a default language, and manage notifications.

Finding the settings page

1. Click the cog () icon in the top right corner.
2. From the dropdown menu, choose the "Settings" option.
3. This will replace the middle column, the messages column, with the "Settings" page.

Changing your profile name

1. Under the "Your Account" section, edit your full name.
2. Click Save Changes once you’re finished!

Updating your Avatar

1. By default, Zulip uses avatars from Gravatar; if your email address has a gravatar, Zulip will simply use your existing gravatar. Zulip also supports uploading an avatar directly in Zulip.
2. Under the "Your Account" section, click the "Customize avatar" button and choose an image to upload as your avatar.
3. Click Save Changes once you’re finished!
