Access Your Zoom Profile

When you sign up for a Zoom account, Zoom automatically creates a profile for you. That profile includes your name, picture, email address, time zone, and date and time format. Zoom supplies default values to these settings, but you can change those defaults to whatever values you prefer.

Before you can make changes to your Zoom profile, you need to know how to access the profile settings. You can access many profile options directly in the Zoom mobile app. For all the profile settings or if you’re using the Zoom desktop app, then you need to use the Zoom website.
