Set Up Your Chatter Profile

Your Chatter profile describes who you are to your coworkers and any customers you communicate with. It features your photo and basic information like your professional title and contact details.

    Tip
    Tip Complete your profile with details about the department you work in, your experience, or projects you are currently working on.
  4. Click Save All.
