How to Setup Memoji on MacBook Lock Screen in macOS Monterey & Ventura

Do you want to use an animated profile on your Mac or MacBook lock screen? If yes then this guide is for you. In this macOS post, you’ll learn how to setup Memoji on the MacBook lock screen in macOS Monterey and macOS Ventura.

You have the option to select an animated Memoji as your profile photo, which is shown on your Mac’s lock screen. Here is how to configure it. The senior vice president of software engineering at Apple, Craig Federighi, stated at the keynote address for the 2018 WWDC, “With Memoji, you can design your very own unique Animoji.” These Animoji may mimic your appearance or the actual you.

Instead of using a typical static image for your Mac user profile in macOS Monterey & Ventura, you may use an animated Memoji. The Lock Screen and starting screen may, of course, both display a still image of you.

What is Memoji?

Personalized Animoji is called Memoji. It resembles Samsung’s AR Emoji or Snapchat’s Bitmoji the most. These Animoji can have your identical appearance (or one that is altered to have, for example, blue hair, yellow skin, a mohawk, a ‘fro, a man bun, or a cowboy hat).

You may use the built-in Memoji creator tool in Message to customize your Memoji by adjusting the head shape, eyebrows, or eye color while seeing the Memoji evolve in real-time.

In 2018, Apple then unveiled Memoji, an extension of that capability. With Memoji, you can design an avatar that follows your facial movements similar to an Animoji, but they seem more like you than an animal or robot emoji.
