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.

Zulip communities directory

Zulip Cloud customers who wish to use this feature must upgrade to Zulip Cloud Standard or Zulip Cloud Plus.

You can customize the logo users see in the top left corner of the Zulip app. For best results:

  • Make sure your logo has a transparent background, and trim any bordering whitespace.
