Create your organization profile
This feature is only available to organization owners and administrators.
Your organization's profile includes its name,
type, description, profile picture, and
logo. The name, description and profile picture appear on the registration
and login pages for your organization, and (optionally) in the communities
directory.
- The organization name also appears in the title of your Zulip browser tab
or Desktop app, and in email and desktop notifications. It's best to keep it
short.
- The organization type is used to customize the experience for users
in your organization, including initial organization settings and
Welcome Bot messages received by new users.
- The organization description supports full Markdown
formatting, including
bold/italic, links, lists, and more.
- The organization profile picture is a square image that is also used for
switching between organizations in
the desktop app. It will be displayed at 100×100 pixels, or more on
high-resolution displays.
- The organization logo replaces the Zulip logo in the
upper left corner of the web and desktop apps.
