Display name change

Looking for the admin option to turn off that controls the Display Name.  We have people changing their display names and I'd like to block that access off. Any ideas?

Hello,

 

Under Settings you'll want to go to:

In-Meeting Basic > "Allow participants to change their names" and disable it.

Hi, @ITMan318.

 

If your question is, "Can we prevent users from changing the Display Name on their Zoom Web Portal's Profile screen", I think the answer is "No".  If you are an enterprise account, have your internal Zoom Admin contact your Zoom Account Manager and ask them if there's a way for Zoom to prevent this on the back end.  Otherwise, I'd suggest making a Feedback/Feature Request, with some justification/rationale for it.

 

Note that people might still be able to change their display name once in a meeting - if the host has permitted it.
