Changing Your Observed Client Icon

By default, the icon that the Remote Desktop administrator sees while observing is the login icon for the currently logged-in user. If you had an iSight camera active when setting up your computer, you may have taken a picture of yourself for your user icon.

You can change this icon, and it will change on the administrator's observation screen.

  1. Prepare the picture you want to use.

    You could use a graphic file, or take a picture using an iSight camera.

  2. Open System Preferences.

    The System Preferences application launches.

  3. Select the Accounts pane.
  4. Select your account, and choose the Picture button.
  5. Replace your current account picture with the new picture.
  6. Close System Preferences.
