Sometimes only my first name doesn't appear in participant window

When I initiate a Zoom meeting, my full name appears at the bottom of my image.

When I enter a Zoom meeting that someone else has initiated, only my first name appears.

How can I get both my first name and last name  to always appear?

 

Thank you.

Hi @Gummo! Thanks for posting your question, and welcome to the Zoom community 😊

Here are instructions on how to edit your display name, which appears on your profile across the Zoom platform: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201363203-Customizing-your-profile 

Please note that if your account is managed by an account admin, they may have policies that prevent you from editing your display name.
