You can now update and share your pronouns on your U-M Google account. If you choose to display your pronouns in Google, they’ll appear when someone views your contact info or hovers over your profile picture in Gmail, Chat, or other Google products. Pronouns will appear in the language they were set, regardless of current language settings.
To update your pronouns:
- Go to your Google Account personal info page and log in with U-M Weblogin if prompted.
- Click the Pronouns row under "Basic info."
- Select from the list of pronoun suggestions or click Add custom pronouns to add your own.
- If adding custom pronouns, enter them in the text field that appears and click Save.
- You can also choose not to have pronouns appear by selecting No pronouns set from the list (which is the default for all U-M Google accounts).
- Select how you'd like your pronouns shared in Google under "Choose who can see your pronouns."
- Only you: Your pronouns are private, and you can only view them.
- Your organization: Your pronouns are visible to every person within U-M Google.
- Anyone: Anyone (both at U-M and external) can view your pronouns when they communicate with you or view the content you create in Google.
Note: Pronouns will only appear next to your picture in Google Meet if you have access set to Anyone and you're using Meet on the web (mobile users won't be able to view pronouns). Refer to the Google Help Center for more information.
Refer to the ITS knowledge base for more information on updating your pronouns in other ITS services.
