Option to set display name every time I join a meeting?

It would be really great to have the option to set (or at least see!) my display name every time I join a meeting, at the same time that we get a prompt to check our camera and microphone settings before actually entering. Sometimes I use Zoom for work in different settings where I would like my name to display differently. I would love to be able to set the display name every time I am about to join a meeting, without having to go into my profile on the Zoom website. Is there a way to do this in the existing UI? Or would this be a new feature?

Hi @DrewASLEnglish, welcome to Zoom Community! Currently, your display name can only be changed via the Zoom web portal. This is a great idea that would provide flexibility you need for different work settings and I strongly encourage you to submit this as a feature request. To do so, please refer to the requirements and steps in this support article.
