Your profile
Name, email, company, the time zone that decides how every date and time in the dashboard is shown to you, and the dashboard theme.
Choose Account settings from the account menu at the bottom of the sidebar. Your settings open in a dialog over the page you are on, starting on the Account tab. Close the dialog, or press your browser's Back button, and you are back where you were.
Profile
First name, last name, and company. These identify you in the members list of every workspace you belong to, which is the practical reason to fill them in: a members list of email addresses is hard to read.
Your email address is your identity. It is where one-time sign-in codes go, where invitations arrive, and how account merging works.
Changing it requires confirming with a code sent by email, so you need access to the mailbox to make the change. The code stays valid for 10 minutes.
The field turns down an address you cannot use, such as your current one or one another account already has, before any code is sent.
[!IMPORTANT] Keep this an address you can actually reach. Passwordless sign-in and account recovery both depend on it, and a departed colleague's closed mailbox is what turns a five-minute change into a multi-day recovery process.
Time zone
Every date and time in the dashboard is shown and entered in this time zone, and the page shows your current local time so you can check it is right. The time zone picker is searchable: type a city, a region, or an offset.
Whether times read as 12-hour or 24-hour comes from your own device's clock setting, not from here.
This is yours, not the workspace's and not a screen's. Two people looking at the same playlist in different countries each see it in their own time.
It does not affect playback. Schedules run in each screen's own local time, which is set per screen. Your profile time zone changes how you read a schedule, never when content plays.
Worth setting correctly anyway. A schedule that looks like it starts at 09:00 to you and 03:00 to a colleague is a conversation nobody enjoys.
Appearance
The Appearance tab sets the dashboard theme: Light, Dark, or System. System follows your computer's setting and switches when it does.
Dark is the default. The light theme is experimental, and a few pages may not look right in it yet.
The theme is saved to your account, so it is the same on every device you sign in on.
