The image on your profile tells potential viewers what you are about. A good image of your face will always please the crowd. For the best results, upload an image that is recognizable and attractive. If you have a team, make sure you include a team photo. Depending on the topic of your videos, you can use an image that tells the audience about your team.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_it_via_Gmail\"><\/span>Changing it via Gmail<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering how to change your YouTube profile picture using Gmail, then read on. There are two ways to do it: by using the Gmail mobile app or via your web browser. Either way, you should be able to find the appropriate option in the YouTube settings menu. Once you have chosen your new profile picture, you&#8217;ll be able to change it on YouTube. It may take a few minutes to be registered, but it&#8217;s worth it in the long run. You may also want to change your profile picture on Gmail or Google Hangouts.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re using Firefox, you can follow this tutorial to change your profile picture. First, open your Firefox browser and navigate to the Privacy &amp; Security panel. From there, select the Clear Data&#8230; button. Next, uncheck Cookies and Site Data and check Cached Web Content. Once you&#8217;ve done that, click the Clear button. If the changes don&#8217;t seem to be taking effect, try clearing your cache and cookies.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_it_through_Google_plus\"><\/span>Changing it through Google plus<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to change your YouTube profile picture, you can do so from your phone or computer by going to your Google account settings. Once you have changed your YouTube profile picture, you can also update your profile picture on other Google applications such as Gmail. Below are some helpful tips that will get you started on changing your YouTube profile picture. The first step is to click on the &#8220;Edit&#8221; button and upload a new picture. Once you&#8217;ve uploaded the new picture, you can adjust it and share it.<\/p>\n<p>First, change your YouTube channel&#8217;s name. Changing your channel&#8217;s name is a simple process. In YouTube Studio, you can edit your name and profile picture. Select the Customisation option under the Branding and Basic information tabs. Note that it is possible to change the name and image separately. Changing your YouTube profile picture may affect your Google account. Therefore, make sure that you choose a new name before making any changes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_it_through_Placeit\"><\/span>Changing it through Placeit<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Changing your YouTube profile picture through Placeit is easy. To begin, log into your Google account and select the Manage Your Account link on the left-hand side. In the Personal Info window, go to the Profile section. In the Profile section, you will see Upload Photos. Click the photo to upload from your computer, or drag and drop it in the centre. If you don&#8217;t have a picture on your computer, you can also download one from your computer and upload it.<\/p>\n<p>To crop an image, you start by uploading it to Placeit. You can choose from presets, or enter specific dimensions. If you&#8217;re changing your YouTube profile picture, presets are great. If you&#8217;re repurposing a picture that you have taken elsewhere, you can also enter a specific dimension and crop the image accordingly. In either case, you&#8217;ll be able to see what your profile picture will look like once you&#8217;ve made it.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" width=\"480\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/R9wgisIOgH4\" height=\"268\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Change Your YouTube Profile Picture If you&#8217;re not sure how to change your YouTube profile picture, you&#8217;re not alone!
