How do I add 2 emoji to my profile ?

[John_Zwift (John)]

He Lew, using the companion app you’ll be able to add emoji’s to your name. You can also do this in Zwift under your profile settings.

Check out this support article for more details: Updating Your Public Profile

[Lew_McCorvey_FLA (Lew)]

Hi John signed in to Zwift and going to my profile I see no place with settings .And going to companion, again I see Edit my profile and no place I see how to add emoji to either place

[John_Zwift (John)]

Hey @Lew_McCorvey_FLA did you take a look at the link I shared with the steps? Once you’re in the profile view, you can simply add the emoji’s to your last name.

[Jason_J_SPM (Jason)]

I found it easier if you have a windows laptop to go to your profile h ttps://www.zwift.com/ca/settings/profile —take the space from between the h and t in http

Click on your last name box and hit windows key + .(period) at the same time,.. it will bring up emoji options.

Nice! I never knew what the Windows shortcut was.

For those on MacOS:

Update: Thanks to @Paul_Southworth - MasOC Function key (fn)

or if you want more of a workout: Control + Command + Space will bring up the emoji dialogue:

[Paul_Southworth (Paul)]

Huh, on my mac hitting the function key does it

[Lew_McCorvey_FLA (Lew)]

Hey John got it done . Thanks

[GPLama (Shane)]

TIL! Even easier again!

While we’re talking about the emojis - I’ve spun up a dedicated thread about them. If your favorite emoji characters don’t render correctly in the Riders Nearby list or in game chat - please head over tthere.

[Mark_Hulskamp (Mark)]

Updated on the AppleTV, no NO emojis used during a ride made it to the game screen.. Still showed onscreen as blanks.. Am I missing something?

[Rich (Rich - F365)]

Still seeing incorrect leaderboards pop up on the climb portal, showed one of the France sprints when I did the climb of the week on Tuesday and the grade when I did trollstigen on Monday

[Paul_Southworth (Paul)]

You have to log in twice to enable it. Does it show up if you restart the app?

[shooj (Shuji)]

Everyone please update at your earliest convenience.

UPDATE September 25

• Phased rollout to all platforms is complete.

My companion app is not working correctly. When I start zwifting from my Mac, chat screen nor workout screen appear in the companion app. I’ve deleted and reinstalled but no luck. Please help

[Dan_Kothlow (Dan)]

Deleted and reinstalled Companion or the Zwift app on your Mac?

Check this thread -

Companion App not syncing with Zwift App

Haven’t run into this issue in a couple years, but after last CA update, I couldn’t get the CA app to sync with the game. Only have 1 wifi network to choose from; tried usual tricks of putting phone into airplane mode and then back to normal. Tried restarting phone and the computer that Zwift runs…

Or this -

Companion App connection problems? [iOS 18] [macOS 15]

I did a reinstall of Zwift and had the local network popup as well, and that resolved the companion app connection issue as well. Mac Mini M2. It’s not a huge deal. It’s a lot less frustrating than trying to get the companion app to connect in a 45*F pain cave.

Basically, a reinstall of the Zwift app on the Mac will allow a setting to prompt for local network discovery.

keyboard / hotkey shortcut to toggle/swap the leaderboard and ride stats panel without having to go into the settings menu.

Definitely! Wait. Settings menu, without getting dropped? Yikes!

At least I’m able to switch via a variable number of mouse clicks to scroll to the option on the game screen on my Windows 10 machine.

I want a single action to toggle it. There are plenty of unused keyboard buttons, but I’d settle for a (single) button on my Zwift Play Controllers, or even a single mouse click to toggle it.

Or squeeze the stats* under the leaderboard (with a mechanism for toggling on and of, of course )

* I like the Critical Power Stats table. The Lap Times, not so much. Do people use that feature? Can I delete the laps when I accidentally trigger them? <:^|

When will ramp XP calculations be based off effort and not time? It’s weird that a cool down with a 100w average scores the same as a VO2 max interval of 300w….
