Updating your Zoom Events profile information


Updating your profile card to present the most current information about yourself provides other attendees the knowledge they need when reaching out to connect with you, in addition to keeping the connections you've added and/or accepted up to date with your information. 

Changing your profile mode from your profile settings will allow you to set the default mode you are in when you join an event. If you are currently in an event when you update your mode from the profile settings, your in-event mode will update to the mode you select in your profile setting.

You have full control over your profile information and you can edit your profile information and change your mode at any time.
