Displaying your personal pronouns in Zoom

Tags zoom

Zoom allows you to enter in and display your preferred pronouns to be displayed during any meeting you are participating in, as well as asking for your preference on when to share them. Here are the steps to follow for entering your preferred pronouns on your profile.

  1. Sign in to michigantech.zoom.us with your account name and password (the same way you would sign in to Canvas or Banweb).
  2. In the navigation panel on the left side of the screen, select Profile.
  3. To the right of your name, select Edit.
  4. In the Pronouns field, enter your pronouns.
  5. In the “Share in a meeting or webinar?” drop-down field, choose from the following options:
    • Ask me every time: You will be asked if you want your pronouns to appear next to your display name in every meeting that you host or join, and any webinars that you’re the host or panelist for.
    • Always share: Your pronouns will appear next to your display name automatically in any meetings that you host or join, and any webinars that you’re the host or panelist for.
    • Do not share: Your pronouns will not appear next to your display name in any meetings or webinars. You will have to manually choose to share your pronouns.
      Note: Even if you choose not to share your pronouns in meetings or webinars, your pronouns will still appear in your profile card and be visible to your Zoom contacts if you have entered them in the Pronouns field.
  6. Choose Save.
