How do I get a profile picture?

Take a selfie on Your account, and Maestro draws it as a print for your picture.

Take a selfie

  1. Open Your account and select Take a selfie. Your browser asks to use your camera; on a computer or phone without one, choose a photo instead. On a computer you can also paste or drop a photo onto the selfie screen.
  2. Look at the camera and take the photo, or take another until you like it.
  3. Select Draw it. The drawing comes back in about half a minute.
  4. Select Use this one, and it becomes your picture on your account button and in your courses' study bar.

You can draw up to eight a day. Any drawing from today stays on the selfie screen, so you can go back to an earlier one. If you stop waiting for a drawing, it still shows up there when it comes back.

If the camera is blocked

On an iPhone, open Settings, then Safari, then Camera, and choose Allow. In Chrome on Android or a computer, select the icon at the left of the address bar, then Permissions or Site settings, and allow Camera. Then open the selfie screen again, or choose a photo instead.

Your photo

Before your photo goes, the selfie screen names the company that draws it. Maestro keeps the drawing, never the photo, and deletes a drawing you don't keep after a day. Who processes what has the details.

Remove takes your picture away, and your account goes back to its plain circle. Your Maestro can also tell you about your picture, keep a drawing or remove it for you.

If you teach on Maestro, the Picture section of Settings works the same way, and your picture shows only on your own account button.
