Use the My Picture section of Gmail’s General Settings menu to add a picture to your Gmail account. This picture appears when one of your contacts hovers over your name in his Chat list, Contacts list or inbox. However, the picture is not added as your Gmail account’s profile picture. To add a profile picture to your Gmail account, use the Change Photo option from the Profile menu. Your Gmail account profile picture is your Google account profile picture and automatically becomes the default profile picture across your other Google accounts, such as Google Hangouts.
