Profile Setup

Edit Profile

Open your profile in the web experience by selecting the profile icon in the top right corner. In the mobile app tap the stack icon and then profile. Edit the information in your Profile by selecting Edit Profile. 

From the Edit window, you can update your Preferred Name and most other personal information, such as Timezone, Pronouns, Preferred Language, and Birthday. Note that greyed out fields will need to be edited in Studio by your Program Manager.

You can update your Display Name directly from your Profile in the web experience and mobile app. Display Names are auto-generated, and may have a number in the name to assure that they are unique. If you try to use a display name that is already in use, you will see an "error updating your profile" - try a different name that is more unique.

The Display Name field only supports letters, numbers, and the period character (.). Spaces are not supported and will prompt an invalid display name error. 

Profile Photo

Upload a photo by clicking into your Profile > Edit Profile. Tap the camera icon to either take a new photo or upload a photo from your camera roll. Crop your selected photo as needed and save. Users who choose not to add a profile picture will have a grey avatar icon to represent them. These avatar icons will appear when searching for a person, as well as on content the user has liked or commented on.

Private Profile 

Hide some of your information and activity from other users by enabling your Private Profile. Your photo, first and last name, and display name will still be visible to other users, such as when you like or comment on posts, or when another user tries to mention (@name) you.

Other users will also be able to search for your private profile by name or display name.

However, when other users view your private profile, all other values (birthdate, job title, etc.) are hidden, as are Channels Following, Recent Activity, etc.

Change Password

In the web experience, you have the ability to change your password. You will need your old password to change your password from within your profile.

Joined Channels

All of the channels that you have joined will be listed here. The joined channels shape what you see in Latest. Unfollow channels by tapping on the checkmark in the channel card. Access a specific channel and view all of its content by tapping the channel card. 

You can also see how many other users are following each of your followed channels.
