Adding an email Profile Picture
Adding Your Professional Photo (Image ID) to Your UOD Email Account
Make a lasting first impression! Adding a professional photo to your UOD email account allows colleagues and students to easily recognize you.
Here's how to set your profile picture, following University guidelines:
Before You Begin:
Preparing Your Photo:
Professional Look: Maintain a professional image by using a passport-style photo with a clear, white background. This fosters a more academic environment within Google Workspace services.
Technical Specifications:
Square Format: Ensure your photo is square-shaped, with a minimum size of 300x300 pixels.
Clear & Centred: Your face should be centred and clearly visible in the photo.
Optional Tool: You can use the U.S. Department of State's Photo Tool (https://tsg.phototool.state.gov/photo) to help you prepare your picture according to these guidelines.
Adding Your Photo or Updating Your Profile Picture:
Access My Account: Open a web browser and visit https://myaccount.google.com. You might need to sign in to your University Google Account.
Locate Your Profile Picture:
Option 1: Look for your current profile picture in the top centre area of the page. Click on it.
Option 2: Alternatively, navigate to the top left corner and click on "Personal info." Under "Basic info," locate "Profile picture" and click the circle with your initials or current picture.
Add or Change Picture:
Adding a Picture: Click "Add profile picture" at the bottom of the window.
Changing Your Picture: Click "Change" at the bottom of the window.
Upload and Adjust:
Choose the photo you prepared according to the instructions above.

Save Changes: Click "Save as profile picture" in the bottom left corner.
By following these steps, you'll have a professional profile picture that makes your identity within the University Google Workspace readily recognizable.
Important Note:
Your chosen photo must comply with University policy and procedures regarding professional conduct and attire.
Additional Tips:
Use a high-quality photo with good lighting.
