Last updated: Aug. 12, 2022

In Plecto, we call the profile pictures avatars. Having a profile picture can help your team recognize who you are. Besides, profile photos make your Plecto dashboards look much better. 🎉

Everyone with login access to Plecto can upload their profile pictures. Admins can upload both their and other employees' profile pictures.
