Your Profile and Account

Your profile

Your profile carries your display name, up to 30 characters, a photo, your username, and an optional title that shows underneath your name.

Everything on it is visible to people you play with, which is what you are agreeing to when you join a league.

Your username

Everyone has a username, shown as an @handle under your display name and beside your name in friend lists. You do not have to pick one. BandJam works one out from your display name the first time it needs to, and where a name cannot produce a usable handle you get a pair of words instead, such as @velvetbassline.

You can claim or change yours in Settings. Choose carefully, because a handle you leave behind is gone for good. It is retired rather than returned to the pool, so nobody else can take it and neither can you.

Handles are unique across BandJam, so one somebody already holds is refused. Spellings that merely look like an existing handle count as the same handle, which stops anyone copying your name using lookalike characters.

Claiming your first handle is not limited. Changing one is capped at three times a minute.

Career stats

Your profile keeps a running record across every league you have finished: how many leagues you have played, and how many firsts, seconds and thirds you have taken, both on the main leaderboard and on the Best Friend one.

Shared places count. If two of you tied for first, you both have a first.

Friends

You can send friend requests from somebody's profile. Friends are a shortcut for inviting people to leagues and crews rather than a permission of any kind.

Invites

From somebody's profile you can invite them to one of your leagues or crews. Invites they have not answered show up on their invites tab with a count.

Invites do not linger forever. One to a league that has since finished is cleared away.

Settings

Settings covers your profile, your league stats, notifications, chat notifications, blocked users, and the support links. It is also where you can replay the tutorial, which walks a full round using a practice league and touches nothing real.

Deleting your account

Deleting your account removes you from every league and crew you are in and deletes your profile permanently.

Songs you submitted to rounds that have already finished stay in those leagues' playlists and history. They cannot be pulled back out.
