Managing your avatars

Custom Avatar sharing

Avatars and voices are shared individually. Sharing an avatar does not automatically share the corresponding voice.

Go to the Avatars page in your Synthesia account and find the avatar you want to share.

To share it with a specific user, or several users:

1. Open up the 3-dot menu and select Share.
2. Type the names of the users you'd like to share it with in the Select users field, or click on the dropdown button for that field to find them in a list of workspace users.
3. Click the Share button next to the Select users field to share your avatar.

• Switch between sharing your avatar with the entire workspace or with specific users

📌

• If the option to share your avatar with the entire workspace is grayed out, your workspace admin has likely disabled this functionality. Contact them for further instructions.
