    This video is about changing your profile picture after the error - You can't change the photo for this account. This generally happens on GSuite accounts. For me this showed up where I couldn't change my RUclips profile picture. RUclips suggested I fix this in my GSuite account but I couldn't change it there either. This video shows you how to fix it your GSuite admin settings.

    Thanks a lot Chris! Brilliant piece of discovery. I can't say enough about how much time and effort you saved me. Actually I had given up on making this work and cancelled by account because of it. I just tried another random search to give it one more try months later and voila! I found your video. Thank you very much for taking the time to do this video and share it with others. Much appreciated!

    Great video! I had a tough time getting started though. I didn't know what a "g suite" account was or how to get to it. I was able to find the admin console when I clicked on my profile and then I was able to follow your directions. I signed up for a paid email account with wix and it is run by google. I didn't sign up directly for a g suite account so I had no idea what that was. Now I got it figured out. Thanks for making such a helpful video.

    At last! I've been trying to change my outdated profile photo for a year without success. This is the only video I've found that solved the problem and, no matter how many ways I worded the question, I just could not get a straight forward 'this is how you do it' from Google. Why? Is it a secret?
    A quick glance at some of the other comments reveals that they too shared my exasperation.
    Thank you Chris.
