Change your Avatar in Community and Web player

I can't seem to change my avatar.  I changed it once with a picture I uploaded and it was gone the next day.  I have since changed it to one of the provided images but nothing will stick. What am I missing?  Also in the webplayer I have no avatar or option to change my avatar.  Any ideas?

@KCdaGuy It's great to see you around the Pandora Community!

 

As the Pandora Community is linked via Single Sign-On (SSO) to your existing Pandora account, you will need to link your Pandora.com account with your Facebook to change your avatar. At this time, that is the only way to upload a custom avatar to your community profile.

 

I hope this helps and I hope to see you around more often. Smiley Happy

@2bnjmns Do you mean here on Community or in the Pandora app?

 

In Community:

  • Go to My Settings > Avatars > then select one from the collection
  • If you'd like a custom avatar, you will need to connect your Facebook from the Account Settings page at pandora.com.

I hope this is helpful!

Why can't I change my community profile pic? I see the option to do so but nothing happens when I try.

I was just wondering if there's a way to upload your own avatar, and if there isn't a way please add a feature like that

@TropicalKiwi8 @Bacon There isn't currently a way to change the color of your avatar.

The photo that shows in your community profile is connected to the photo associated with your actual Pandora account.

If you'd like to add a photo to your community profile, you will first need to connect your Facebook account to your Pandora profile.

You can add a photo to your Pandora profile if you have a photo on your Facebook profile and your Facebook account is connected to your Pandora account.

To connect your Facebook account on Pandora, log in to our website and click the icon (initial or picture) in the top right corner of the page.

1. Select Settings, and then Account in the left hand menu.
2. Scroll down to Social.
3. Select Connect to the right of the Facebook option. 

To change the photo that is displayed on your Pandora profile, you'll need to change your default photo on your Facebook account.

It's also worth noting that sometimes Facebook takes some time to recognize the connection with Pandora, so if it doesn't work right away please try again a little later.

Hope this helps explain!

When I choose an avatar in my profile, it does NOT remember it and stay as chosen. Shortly after, it reverts back to the default avatar.  Bug ???

@Andreuz-Music At this time, the only way to permanently change the photo on your community profile, is by linking your Facebook account with your Pandora account.

If you select one of the stock images within the community, the next time you log back into the community, your photo will revert back to the default avatar.

Check out the accepted solution to this thread for instructions on how to permanently change your community profile photo.

Hope this helps clarify!

Why even bother having avatars! That doesn't even make sense. Did my original post disappear?  I would have liked to hear others have to say from in the Community.
