Note: If you are already signed in to your Hopin account, your Session account will be automatically created and you'll be taken to the Session home page.  

Setting up your profile

When you first create your Session account, your details from your Hopin account will be pulled over. You may want to edit this. Here's what can be changed:

  1. Profile image: Your profile image will be visible while your camera is disabled within a meeting. We recommend images with an aspect ratio of 1:1, however, Session allows you to crop the image down if an image with a different aspect ratio is used. Images wider than 400px aren't recommended. Images larger than 3MB are not supported.
  2. Full Name: This is your Session profile name. It will be visible to Session participants.
  3. Notifications: Allow Session to send you browser notifications when someone knocks or enters your rooms.

Here are the steps that you are required to take:

  • Click on the avatar at the top right
  • Click on Profile settings

  • (Optional) Toggle on the browser notifications

Things to Note

  • The recommended image dimension for your profile photo is 1:1, however, you may use images with different dimensions and crop them down. 
  • It is not possible to edit your email address here. You would be required to go to your Hopin account to change your email address there. 
  • Editing your name within your Session account will not affect the name that is on your Hopin account. 
  • The name that is shown in the link for your Rooms will be the name that was on your Hopin account when you first signed up for Session.
  • To delete your Session account, please contact privacy@hopin.to
