unable to rename profile

I am unable to change my default screen name in my zoom profile online. I can change the screen name in the zoom app but it always resets to the default. When I try to update my profile in the zoom website the screen has a spinning circle like it is loading but it never loads. It seems like a website malfunction. I have tried several times over. the past week and the situation is the same.

 

I have a free account. I am using safari on mac book pro. Most recent operating system.

Same problem and the support page is outdated.  The instructions for Web don't match what I see.  Changing the name in my profile does not update the name in a meeting.  This support page has outdated information https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0061891

I ended up deleting my free profile entirely and creating a new one with the same email. I renamed myself and that is what shows on meetings now.
