What it's for
Your profile tells your bandmates who you are and how to reach you. It is shared by all your bands, so you fill it in only once. Only Name is required; everything else is optional and helps with planning, travel and emergencies.
When to use it
- You have just joined and want your bandmates to recognise you.
- Your phone number or chat app changed.
- You want to hide your contact details from one band, but not from another.
- The band travels abroad and needs your date of birth or an emergency contact.
How to
Permissions and limits
- Your name, stage name, first and last name, photo, About me, nationality, languages and time zone are visible to bandmates who can see the member list.
- Your contacts and sign-in email are visible to bandmates if contacts are shown for that band (your own choice, or the band default). People with the Edit members permission (Band Admin by default) always see them.
- Date of birth and Emergency info are seen only by you and by people with the See sensitive details (date of birth, emergency info) permission (Band Admin by default).
- Your availability rules and your transport and gear are explained in Availability and Equipment.
- Only you can change your profile.
Examples
A tour abroad
The manager needs dates of birth for the hotel and festival. Add your Date of birth, Nationality and an Emergency contact – only you and the band admins see the private parts.
You play in two bands
In your main band everyone may have your number; in the other band you prefer to stay private. Under My bands, set Show for the first band and Hide for the second.
Common mistakes
- Leaving the page without selecting Save – changes to names, contacts and details are lost. Only the photo and the My bands settings save on their own.
- Putting your phone number in About me – it is then visible even when you hide your contacts. Use How to reach me instead.
- Expecting Hide to hide your contacts from the band admin – people with Edit members always see them.
Troubleshooting
- "Please fix the highlighted fields." is shown.
- One of the fields isn't valid – for example an email contact without @, or an availability rule with missing dates. Correct the red field and select Save again.
- My photo won't upload.
- Use a PNG, JPEG, WebP or GIF image of at most 2 MB. Photos straight from a phone camera are often bigger – take a screenshot of it or make it smaller first.
- How do I change my sign-in email?
- The sign-in email can't be changed on the profile page. Add your other address under How to reach me, or ask your band admin for help.
