Hello everyone, I’m Denise Ho, Google+ Photos Product Manager.

This week we launched two new photos features!

1) You can now take your profile photo with your web camera.

2) You also have the option to send your circles a personal message whenever you change your profile photo.

The web camera is a convenient option if you want to take a quick snapshot or just show off your new silly hat 🙂

To get started, go to your profile page, click Edit profile and select change photo. On the left, select Web camera (Flash required). Pose with a big smile and snap away until you see the perfect shot.

Once you’re done, you also have the option to send your circles a personal message in the share box to spread the excitement around your new profile photo.

Thanks to Shana Gitnick, Jon Emerson, Karen Liu, Matthew Levine for implementing these features!
