Don’t want to be on video during a Zoom meeting? Display your profile picture instead.
When you’re in a Zoom meeting with a bunch of people, you may not want to share your video feed with the rest of the participants. Zoom allows you to turn off your camera while attending a virtual meeting. When your camera is turned off, Zoom displays your name or initials in the window where your video feed is supposed to be. To make your icon more engaging, you can set your profile picture to it. In this article, we show you how to display your profile picture in a Zoom meeting instead of your video feed.
