Hello! Is it possible to change display names for family members using the same account? For example, one child using device 1, another using device 2 for school and me using device 3 for work. Currently, it just displays same name for everyone and we can’t change during calls. Thank you!

Hello!

 

The default name for a user in a meeting will be set on the account: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201363203-Customizing-your-profile

 

You can also update the user name within a meeting.  Go to the participants list and under your user, you can click 'Rename' and assign a name temporarily for the duration of that meeting.

 

Hope that helps and please make sure to mark the solution as accepted if this information is what you needed.

Thanks!  Rick
