  <title>Change your login screen photo</title>

  <p>When you log in or switch users, you will see a list of users with
  their login photos. You can change your photo to a stock image or an
  image of your own. You can even take a new login photo with your
  webcam.</p>

  <p>You need <link xref="user-admin-explain">administrator privileges</link>
  to edit user accounts other than your own.</p>

  <steps>

      <p>Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui>
      overview and start typing <gui>System</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Select <guiseq><gui>Settings</gui><gui>System</gui></guiseq> from the
      results. This will open the <gui>System</gui> panel.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Select <gui>Users</gui> to open the panel.</p>

      <p>If you want to edit a user other than yourself, press
      <gui style="button">Unlock</gui> in the top right corner and type in your
      password when prompted. Choose the user from <gui>Other Users</gui>.</p>
    </item>

      <p>Click the pencil icon next to your name. A drop-down gallery will be
      shown with some stock login photos. If you like one of them, click it to
      use it for yourself.</p>
      <list>
        <item>
          <p>If you would rather use a picture you already have on your
          computer, click <gui>Select a file…</gui>.</p>
        </item>
        <item>
          <p>If you have a webcam, you can take a new login photo right now by
          clicking <gui>Take a picture…</gui>. Take your
          picture, then move and resize the square outline to crop out the
          parts you do not want. If you do not like the picture you took, click
          <gui style="button">Take Another Picture</gui> to try again, or
          <gui>Cancel</gui> to give up.</p>
