How to Change Display Name in Zoom

You have the option to set the name you display to others in a Zoom conference. You may wish to have participants rename themselves so that you can take attendance, or so that you can better address them.

Change your Display Name

  2. On the participants panel, hover over your name and select More. Click Rename.
    Click on the more options button.
     
  3. Type in your new display name.
    Enter a screen name.
Please Note: If you are the host, your display name is set by default. You can change it within a meeting, but upon joining another meeting it will revert to Last-name, First-name due to the connection to your Missouri State account.
