.. START ADD LINKS TO YOUR PERSONAL SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS

To add links to your social media accounts to your profile, follow these steps.

#. At the top of any page, select the dropdown menu icon next
   to your username, then select the **Profile** tab.

#. On your profile page, click the **Add** button or edit button in the Social Media section you want to edit. 

#. Add your full social media URL or your username in the text field.

   For example, if your Facebook username is ``edx``, you can enter either
   ``edx`` or ``https://www.facebook.com/edx``.

   For LinkedIn, note that your username might include numbers. For example,
   if the URL of your LinkedIn profile page is ``https://www.linkedin.com/in
   /firstname-lastname-123456/``, your LinkedIn username is ``firstname-
   lastname-123456``.

The site saves your changes when you click outside the text field.

When you view your profile, icons for the social media icons that you added
links for appear below your username. Other learners or course team members
can click those icons to visit your social media account page.
