Your looking at it ;)

@Island awesomee!

[@Octorious]

@Cinogard and I love it :D

Sony is really downgrading getting rid of the themes and avatars making us feel really limited

[@JkRowleyy]

You can change cover image on your profile which changes background

[@Nami-Swwaaan]

@JkRowleyy im sure he meant home theme which is true, i bought a few dynamic themes for my home menu and now i can't even use them on ps5

[@a_solo_yolo]

Whhhhyyyyyyy won’t they just let us use custom avatars without sending close friend requests!? Ugh. It’s annoying and some ppl are weird about close friend requests bc they don’t want their person info being seen, which I get too. PlayStation, how about we bring back custom avatars and PlayStation themes? I want to personalize my PS5 with my own aesthetic.

[@Potatolegend1890]

Sadly you can't.only by this way

[@IIIISai]

Lol

[@DYOUNGDRIFT]

Exactlyy, no one wants to accept Close Friends request not even me. 😂😂

[@marklol4017]

Thanks man rlly appreciate u making this vid.

[@ganjaboid]

NOTE: YOU STILL CANNOT SHOW YOUR PROFILE PICTURE AS YOUR AVATAR ON GAMES!!! So even when you play online people will only see the avatar that is in chosen, NOT YOUR PROFILE PICTURE!

[@BrotherNikoIV]

I see people in Siege and other games with custom profile photos though, how?!?! Almost everyone I come across. Yes, showing in-game and on psn profile. 🤯😤

[@Mark_Youtube]

There use to be a way and you still can you just need a ps3 and 50 cents and go on a website I forgot name and make custom avatar then connect from website to ps3 with the same account on ps5 and it will show up as a premium avatar

[@ashtonsstuff]

Awesome! I'm working on a PS5 Beginner's Guide right now as well which might be of interest to you then, though not sure when it will be up; hopefully mid February. :) Good luck getting the console :D

Nice but ingame i see the avatar and not my profil pic

[@newstylegaming2911]

I know it's really annoying

[@Octorious]

What have you set your profile picture to? Let us all know in the comments! 👇

[@ItsEklipz]

It didnt show profile picture only avatar

[@rodrigo9566]

It didn’t work for me. It only allow me to access the PS catalog. I wish that I could just personalise and use a picture that I want :c

[@Tatersinper3607]

Yeah same thing with me

[@thedudekev]

Can you make your profile pic public too? I see randoms who's avatar is their profile pic ??

[@divinedough805]

It says I everything but profile picture for me is it some type of update?

[@Lightwaves7984]

there's still no way for custom avatars to use so everyone can see it, not just close friends.

[@lucasthegamemasterporterfi84]

I can’t change my profile to something on my app at all

[@thedinogod2261]

ur still doing ps 4/5 videos remember when we played a while ago on fortnite .. btw u have grown alot simce then nice. am only at around 150 subs haha all love tp u

[@Jammybobs]

I says 'this feature is not available for your account' when i try on the app and the option isn't there on the website, could this be because I'm using a child account and how can i make it available?

[@goldentalon557]

Ya I can't do it either

[@7sinsful]

UPDATE 1/07/22 July: this does not work anymore. i went to try and found out Sony removed the feature to add custom profile pictures for some unknown reason :(

[@Octorious]

It very much does still exist. I've just double checked on both the app and website to see, and it's there and it functions as intended on both. Not quite sure why you wouldn't be able to see it but my suggestion is that you first try using the app if you used the site, or the site if you used the app. If you still can't see it, watch the video again slower to make sure you are looking in the right place.

[@TrplSixSamurai-]

@@Octoriousokay but what about the avatar I get the profile picture is changeable but what about the avatar, I use to be able to do so but not no more…

[@marktaylor6979]

Minds keep putting pictures in sideways so I don’t know pics in my iPhone are straight it works with app put pics go in sideways I don’t understand why

[@ItsEklipz]

It didnt show profile picture only avatar

[@enderemyy]

It only says "this feature is unavailable for this account" does anybody know why? And if so is there a way to fix it

[@Callomeh]

Yeah i also have the same problem

[@enderemyy]

@@Callomeh it's most likely because you have a children's account, I have one and it says that for so many options, if your not that progressed on your current account maybe just make a new one on your playstation

[@Jxdabella]

is there a way people that aren't my close friends can see it ??

[@kamilonsticks]

Only close friends can see this right ?

[@tall_m1dget]

is there any way to look for avatars or anything? they completely removed it from ps store

[@ashtonsstuff]

ps3 store is the last way to do it

[@Bramptonboy2006]

@@ashtonsstuff Yep ps3 or ps4 is the only way now

[@ashtonsstuff]

@@Bramptonboy2006 ps4? I thought they removed it off of the ps4 store and i thought ps3’s avatars were the only ones left

[@Bramptonboy2006]

@@ashtonsstuff No there not I went back on my ps4 a while ago and bought some avatars and even the avatar bundles that come with a game are still there

[@ashtonsstuff]

@@Bramptonboy2006 danggg, imma have to find my old ps4, do they have any ones related to Tomb Raider or Uncharted? besides the free uncharted ones

[@MOVEMENT531]

Ye but in game it’s the other avater

[@ZeAsmrr]

Yes, I changed mine and I sent mine to my profile picture and it still shows as my avatar in game is this normal?

[@noaahh.22]

what’s the point when the public can’t even see my pfp 😪 so annoying.

[@kerropiroby3908]

What do you do if it says unavailable

[@dylansayre1620]

Same thing happened to me

[@ace_ventura5708]

It don’t work and the invisible avatar is not event anymore there :(

[@solidghoulyt2246]

hopefully it it works on the ps4 im gonna try

[@Octorious]

It does indeed! Same exact method :) Privacy settings and sending close friend requests (end of the video) is just at a different part of the UI.

[@solidghoulyt2246]

@@Octorious yea octo i just did it IT WORKED!!! :D TYSM

[@not_dev]

Hi i am having troubles i don't know my password and i can't reset it or else I will loose my fortnite crew pack it says in the discription 😢😭

[@Octorious]

You should not lose content by resetting your password at all. I'm not too sure about all the Fortnite stuff these days though, so if you do, contact Epic. All resetting your password does is sign you out of all your PS devices, you then will be asked to sign back in, and when you do, everything will be back to normal.

[@not_dev]

Thx i will try it later became i am still scared but thx for the tip.

[@not_dev]

Because*

[@LightRL_2]

I desent work in game thi;(

[@generalkenobi47]

Is it age restricted?

[@ZiGGi03]

Is anyone else’s ps5 not playing KZbin ? I’ve literally tried everything anyone have a clue what’s going on ?

[@Octorious]

Make sure HDCP is enabled in your settings under HDMI :)

[@SKOLFORLIFE18]

It doesn't show it. It only shows avatar?

[@Red__Towel]

So basically youre telling everyone to become close friends with everyone so they can change their profile picture. Sony needs to take note. We now have people on the internet potentially compromising their privacy to have custom avatars

[@Octorious]

All becoming a "close friend" does in addition to revealing your profile picture, is reveal whatever you have your display real name set to, nothing more. For example, mine is set to Octorious as the first name and YT as the 2nd name. Unfortunately, this is the only way for more than just yourself to be able to see the custom pic.

[@jaidenhuntley2371]

I don’t see that

[@fazeassil]

PS 4?

[@Octorious]

Same exact method :) Privacy settings and sending close friend requests (end of the video) is just at a different part of the UI.
