Username
Your default username is what gets pre-filled in the connect wizard. Servers may also store a registered name, see Identities.
Profile customization
Your profile is what others see when they click your name in the sidebar. Fancy Mumble lets you make it look the way you want.
Open it from Settings, Profile.
Try a sample profile
Section titled “Try a sample profile”Pick from eight original sample themes—cats, dogs, cars, anime, manga, K-pop, comics, and flowers—to see an avatar and matching banner together. Anime has three distinct looks: vivid pop, clean visual novel, and flat cartoon demon.

Use the Avatar and Banner download links under any profile to try a matching pair in your own profile. Open Settings, Profile, choose Edit under Avatar and Image under Banner, then adjust each crop in the editor. These files are examples; you can replace them with your own images.

Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”- Bio colors and images are missing, the server has disabled rich rendering.
- Avatar reverts after reconnect, the server’s file storage is offline. The app falls back to the inline avatar.
- Name style is invisible to a friend, they are on a vanilla client.
- Save button is disabled, the username field is empty.
- A teammate’s profile shows only their avatar, with no banner, name style, or decorations: either they have not set up any customization yet, or the server’s file server is offline and their uploaded images cannot be loaded. Profile styling metadata is stored in the user comment field and always synced; only images hosted on the file server (custom avatar uploads, custom banner images) require the file server to be reachable.
