changing the name during a meeting

Hello, I don't understand why I can't change my name during a meeting while the other participants can. I don't have access to the button "rename" and I didn't have this problem a month ago. I tried to reinstall zoom but the problem is still there

Thank you

Hey @Colyne, it's possible the meeting host had disabled this for the particular meeting you were in. Otherwise if you are using a Zoom account at work, it's likely the Zoom Admin has turned off the 'Allow participants to rename themselves' setting. You'll be able to check here: https://zoom.us/profile/setting 👍
