Your KICK profile is how you appear to other Viewers, Chatters, and Streamers. This guide walks you through how to set up and update your profile, and explains how privacy works on KICK today.
Updating your profile
Your profile is the first thing people see when they click your username. To customise it:
Click your avatar in the top right corner
Go to your account settings
Open the profile section
From here, you can update:
- Profile picture: A small image that appears next to your username
- Display name: What other users see when you appear in chat or on a channel, it can be change each 60 days if you want.
- About section: A short bio where you can share a little about yourself
- Connected social media: Links to your social profiles, if you want to share them
For a more detailed walkthrough, see How to Update Your Profile.
💡 Think carefully about what you share publicly. Information on your profile is visible to anyone on KICK, including people you do not know.
How privacy works on KICK
KICK does not currently offer dedicated privacy settings or controls. There is no separate privacy tab in your account settings, and there is no activity feed or option to hide your subscriptions, follows, or watch history.
This means:
- Your username and profile information are publicly visible
- Channels you follow and subscribe to are not displayed on your profile
- Your watch history is not shared with other users
- Your account settings, payment information, and email remain private
We are aware that more granular privacy controls are valuable, and feedback on this topic is welcome through our Support Team.
Tools available to protect yourself
While KICK does not currently have privacy settings as a dedicated category, you do have tools to manage your interactions with other users.
Block and report
You can block users who are bothering you, and report users for breaking our Community Guidelines.
For full details, see Blocking, muting, and reporting other users on KICK.
Channel-level moderation
If you are a Streamer, you have a much wider set of tools to control who can interact with your channel — including chat modes, banned words, time-outs, and bans.
See How to Moderate Your KICK Chat for the full set of controls.
Mute Chatters in your view
If a Chatter is sending messages you do not want to see, you can mute them. Muting hides their messages from your chat view only — other Viewers still see them.
See Blocking, muting, and reporting other users on KICK for how to mute.
Account security
While privacy controls are limited on KICK today, account security is something you can fully control:
- Use a strong, unique password that you do not reuse on other sites
- Enable Two-Factor Authentication to protect your account from unauthorised access
- Be cautious of phishing attempts — KICK will never ask you for your password by email or chat
For full setup, see:
- How to enable Two-Factor Authentication
- Account Safety at KICK
