Pictures give user profiles character and uniqueness. Without a profile photo, individual users would be nearly indistinguishable from one another. YouTube allows you to set and change the picture associated with your account. You may choose a picture from your computer, the default shadow image or a video still. The picture will appear on your YouTube channel together with your user name and other publicly visible statistics.
