How do I set a profile picture in the Teacher app on my Android device?
If your institution allows profile pictures, you can add a profile picture in the Teacher app.
The images in this lesson are shown for a phone display, but unless otherwise noted, tablet displays mirror the same steps.
Notes:
- Changing your profile picture in the app will also change the profile picture in your browser version of Canvas.
- If you cannot add a profile picture, your institution has restricted this feature.
