Explanation

With the Pronouns feature, you can add your pronouns directly to your user profile to display within Zoom meetings.

When you add pronouns to your profile, they are visible to your Zoom contacts as part of your Zoom profile card in the Zoom desktop client, Zoom Rooms app, and mobile app. You can also choose when or if your pronouns are shown during a meeting that you host or join, or webinar that you are the host or panelist for. Webinar attendees’ pronouns are never visible.

NOTE: You must update the Zoom desktop client to 5.7.0 to use the Pronouns feature.
