Naming a Group Text

[cemcandr]

When I am texting an individual number, I can add as a contact and their name is displayed. However, when I start a group text message, it won't let me rename the chat, like "Joe Smith's Family." Is there a way to rename it without having to add every single person as a contact?

hi @cemcandr 

Maybe you use could use a private or public channel.

hi @cemcandr 

with respect to sms group text, all i could find for group text was:

You can set up a group of sms users

Group

To enable or disable SMS/MMS for a group of users:

1. Sign in to the Zoom web portal as an admin with the privilege to edit groups.
2. In the navigation menu, click User Management then Groups.
3. Click the applicable group name from the list.
4. Click the Zoom Phone tab.
5. Under General, click the SMS/MMS toggle to enable or disable it.
6. If a verification dialog displays, click Enable or Disable to verify the change.
   Note: If the option is grayed out, it has been locked at the account level and needs to be changed at that level.
7. (Optional) To prevent all users in the group from changing this setting, click the lock icon , and then click Lock to confirm the setting.
