What size should my Zoom profile photo be?

Zoom recommends a profile photo of at least 200x200 pixels, though higher resolution looks better on large screens. Use a square crop focused on your face and shoulders. The photo displays as a circle, so keep important elements centered.

Does your Zoom profile photo matter for professional calls?

Yes. Your profile photo displays whenever your camera is off, in the participants list, and in chat. A professional headshot signals competence before you say a word. A missing or casual photo creates a negative first impression in business contexts.

Should I use the same headshot for Zoom, Teams, and Slack?

Using the same professional headshot across all workplace platforms builds visual consistency. People recognize you faster in chats, meetings, and emails. Update all platforms simultaneously when you get a new headshot.
