Including your photo on Webex is an excellent opportunity to customize your virtual presence and simplify recognition during meetings. This guide will walk you through the steps of uploading your photo to Webex and offer my personal insights and advice.
Step 1: Sign in to Webex
To start, log in to your Webex account using your credentials. Once you are logged in, navigate to the settings menu by clicking on your profile picture and selecting “Settings”.
Step 2: Update your Profile Picture
In the settings menu, you will find a section called “My Picture”. Click on the “Edit” button next to it to update your profile picture.
Here’s where you can add your personal touch! Choose a picture that represents you professionally and shows your personality. It could be a headshot or a picture where you are engaged in an activity you love. Remember, this picture will be visible to others in meetings, so make sure it’s appropriate for the workplace.
Step 3: Upload or Take a New Picture
There are two options for adding your picture: uploading an existing picture or taking a new one using your device’s camera.
If you have a picture saved on your computer or mobile device that you would like to use, select the “Upload a picture” option. This will open a file browser where you can locate and select the picture you want to upload.
If you prefer to take a new picture, choose the “Take a picture” option. Webex will access your device’s camera, allowing you to capture a new photo on the spot. Ensure you are in a well-lit area and position yourself appropriately before taking the picture.
Step 4: Adjust and Crop
After uploading or taking a picture, you can make adjustments and crop it to your liking. Webex provides simple editing tools to rotate, resize, and crop your picture. Take your time to ensure the picture looks good and represents you well.
Step 5: Save and Apply
Once you are satisfied with your profile picture, click on the “Save” or “Apply” button to save the changes. Webex will update your profile picture, and it will be displayed in meetings and on your profile.
Adding a personal touch: For me, uploading a professional headshot as my profile picture has helped me establish a strong online presence and build connections with colleagues. It’s a great opportunity to show my personality and make a positive impression in virtual meetings.
