Zoom has become an application that is inseparable from daily activities for use in work meetings, study activities, or launching an event.
Even in one day, you may have to attend many different meetings and events. Sometimes at an online event, the organizers ask you to change your name or photo to match the predetermined theme.
On Zoom itself you can change names and photos easily. However, the steps will be different for the Zoom application on mobile phones and computers.
How to Change Name and Photo on Zoom

- Login account on the Zoom application that has been installed
- On the main page, select the Options menu at the top right with the profile photo icon

For the record, Display Name is the name listed that people will see when they are in a meeting. While the First Name and Last Name are the account names that you specify in the Zoom application.
On Mobile
- Open the Zoom app and log in to your account
- Select the Settings menu on the main page

For the record, the Take Photo menu is used if you want to take a profile photo directly from the cellphone camera. While the Choose Photo menu you can choose if you want to take photos or images that are already available on your cellphone storage.
You could say, changing names and photos through the Zoom application is more practical than on a laptop or PC because we don’t need to log in and visit the Zoom site again.
