Your global profile is what people see unless you set a per-community override. Open User Settings → Profile. A live preview sits on the right.

What you can change

Display Name 32 Global profile only
Pronouns 40 Placeholder they/them
About Me 160 free / 320 with Plutonium Links and Markdown

Banner JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP. Max 10 MB. Minimum 680×240 (17:6) A global banner is a Plutonium perk
Accent Color Default #4641D9 Border and banner fallback

Plutonium also unlocks animated avatars and banners, accent effects (RGB Neon, Nebula Flow, Stellar Dust, Solar Flare), and channel-list nickname effects (rainbow, golden, neon).

Plutonium badge

If you have Plutonium you can:

  • hide the badge entirely;
  • hide the purchase date;
  • for Visionary — show it as a regular subscription and hide the numbered badge.
