How To Edit Xbox 360 Profile On Xbox One

[Rosangela Pinkard]

Ive recently started playing on an Xbox One, using a Xbox Profile/Gamertag that I previously used on an Xbox 360. In all of the Xbox One interfaces, and on xbox.com, I see the "Gamerpic" avatar that I recently selected:

I'd like to change my Xbox 360 avatar to something new. (It seems like these avatars are drawn from different libraries, so I don't expect to be able to use the same avatar on both platforms.) If possible, I'd also like to change some of the other Xbox 360 profile settings, such as the "Gamer Zone" (which is no longer displayed on-console but is visible in some places in the web interface).

You can edit your Xbox 360 profile on an Xbox One by using any Xbox 360 game. One the game has loaded, press the View/Back and Menu buttons (the ones in the middle of the controller) at the same time to bring up the Xbox 360 "Xbox Guide" menu.

From there, you can scroll over to "Settings" and select "Profile", then "Edit Profile", to see settings that will let you change the "Gamer Picture", "Gamer Zone", "Motto", "Name", "Location", and "Bio" that are used for Xbox 360 content.

Unfortunately, this now seems to mostly be limited to the built-in Pictures/Avatars. I had unlocked and purchased several other ones, but only one of those is visible in this menu. It used to include all of them (when I first wrote this answer in 2017), so this appears to be a bug/regression, but at this point I doubt it will be fixed. ? I've tested this through multiple games and routes to access these settings, including from the games in which I unlocked some of the avatars, but it made no difference.

Available to users on smartphones, Xbox One and Xbox Series XS consoles, and Windows PCs, anyone can take any picture and stick it up on their Xbox Live profile for all to see. Of course, standard community guidelines apply (and Microsoft's system approves pictures before they go live). Up until a short while ago, Xbox Live users were only able to express themselves without custom avatar poses or pre-set pictures. Thankfully, Microsoft finally added the ability to add your own avatar across the entire Xbox Live network.

Here's how you can set up your own Xbox gamerpic, across consoles, mobile devices, and Windows 10 and Windows 11 PCs. The easiest method without a doubt is via a smartphone, but there are other ways if you don't have access to one.

For this to work, you'll need a USB stick or another USB external storage device to set the picture on your console. Simply insert the USB stick into the console with your picture saved somewhere on the stick. The picture needs to be formatted in 1080 x 1080 dimensions. You can learn how to do that below.

All gamerpics on Xbox One need to be HD cropped to a square, hitting at least 1080 x 1080 resolution, or 512 x 512 resolution via a mobile device. You can resize any picture easily using one of the best photo editing apps, like Polarr, a free app on PC and mobile devices. These steps might differ based on the platform you use, but they should be very similar.

So as of now, if you're a streamer who uses multiple PSN ID's or XBox One Accounts, for whatever reason (Mine being my wife and I both play, and would both like to stream solo when the other isnt there, on our sites stream), you must jump through hoops to do so.

The only other alternative is for the individual streamer to go drop $1000+ on a capture card, and streaming capable PC, which not a solution, at least not a realistic one for many of us, otherwise we'd just be PC Streamers.

This. I have two accounts. An old PSN that I used as a kid and a newer one. The old one I couldnt play Overwatch on, and now I have too much items on the new one to play the older even if I could. Too many skins that OW2 makes you pay $20+ for with no way to earn them. On the new PSN I cant get MC to work. So when I stream, I have to split my attention between the two. I cannot stream the two games on the same day since I have to mess with sign out and linking. I also have to remember to swap them if I plan to stream one or the other the next day. Im worried one of these days the swapping will get flagged as suspicious activity and lock me out of my own account.

While that is what is needed to take place in order to stream from the other account. There are times from my Ps4 days that after disconnecting one account, and trying to relink the other it would fail. Granted this has been a little over 1 year now since I last streamed from a console.

However as there is an option to link other accounts to a Twitch account, why not intergrade an option that asks which platform you are streaming from. Then at this point the studio will give the person the ability to add other profiles from the system/console *giving the option like WoW so to speak with character selection screen& with that platform, grouping them as a "team" so to speak. To which each account that run from the same platform, would be grouped together. Granting streaming privilege's to nearby friendly mobs.

So I was just able to sync multiple accounts on my PS4 to my twitch account. When I go to one or the other they both come up with the same broadcasting screen with the same stream title. Tested it by switching profiles and starting a stream while viewing my channel. I disconnected my alt account from my alt PS4 profile then broadcasted it and when it prompted me to activate I went on the website, without being logged into my main Twitch account, activated and then logged into my main account an poof, it worked. Hope this helps.

I agree... And if possible make it easy...lol We are a bunch of old guys, gaming, and right now I am the only one who has stream set up on my PS5. The other guys have Xboxes, and we all want to stream to our channel. No idea how to do that, but apparently not possible with out a bunch of work...

100% agree with this that Twitch should allow API keys unique per console, people often collaborate and I have multiple streamers who stream on my 1 channel taking turns, I need to be able to have multiple Xbox and PlayStations connecting to my Twitch account without disconnecting previous ones.

my brother and I co-run a channel, and I have my xbox one linked, which means he cannot have his xbox one linked. And we live several hours away from eachother. He's now has to resort to streaming on his own channel, and hope that the main channel will "Host" him automatically, which is less than ideal.

Why can't the xbox one twitch app just allow me to input a valid twitch stream key? I mean you COULD check that i'm not using a restream or mixer or youtube live or any other key just by the prefix and expected string formatting unique to twitch stream keys

Potentially you have multiple email addresses tied to your MS account. Do you know what email account your xbox was opened under? It might be the same as your Teams account. This happened to me with my Skype account which somehow had an old email address I used for a non-profit at one time. When I did some digging, I found that that email was tied to my Skype account which was all tied to my Microsoft Account so when I tried to log into new services with what I thought was my hotmail that was used for everything, it was looking for this other-never-really-used email. When I deleted that bad email and added the hotmail to my skype account and made my microsoft account have only my hotmail tied to everything, I was able to sign-up for new services with my MSA and it all worked again. Maybe? Let me know if that isn't it and I can do some digging over here.

@Laurie Pottmeyer I think it is related to the change to follow the Exchange policy for profile picture changes. But the problem is that Teams free users do not have the ability to change this policy, since they don't have one.

I've seen a couple of questions about this from multiple Teams free users this last week, all with the same problem that they can't change their profile picture and I have the same problem in my Teams free organisation.

Since the problem is in Team free and there is no support for them can you check internally if this is a problem that can be fixed? At least we will get fewer new threads about this error (I guess people didn't see your tweet about not searching first).

@Jeff Harlow i am baffled...it is 2021 and you cant change your profile picture unless you pay? can't imagine a more sad state of a "community" or any service. I think M$ has given up just like labeling Chrome to be their EDGE browser or the upcoming WINXBL which is Linux with bloat.

@Jeff Harlowthe underlying seems the same: microsoft has no experience managing communities other than buying linkedin. it makes their already mediocre services even more dull. just like when everybody was using windows in the 90s and there werent any alternatives so people had to live with it.
