How to show picture in Zoom meeting
Zoom doesn’t force its users to keep their video on during a meeting. Everyone single person in a meeting has their own toggle for when they want to turn the video On or Off. In lieu of a video feed, Zoom adds a user’s picture so that when they speak, others can identify who is talking without having to read their name.

Zoom allows users to create an account in three ways; using an email, using a Google account, and using a Facebook account. Users also have the option to set up accounts for a company domain but that is far less commonly used. If you’ve created a Zoom account using either a Facebook or Google account, your profile picture from those accounts will be synced.
If you’re seeing the generic placeholder in a Zoom meeting, you can get it to show a picture instead. Here’s how.
