When I am on screen in a meeting, the name I have set up in my profile is not the same that I put in my profile. In my profile I have clearly input my first and last name, with the first letter Capitalized. In my screen when in a meeting, my name shows up only as my first name with the first letter lower case.
How do I fix this?

If you "joined" the meeting then you had the choice to enter your name on the same window as the meeting id and it can be different than your profile name. If you joined the meeting using a link provided by the host the name used will still be that name entered on the "join" window if it had the remember box checked. Next time join manually by entering the meeting ID and check the name on that window.

I have done everything suggested. My profile has my name. My display name is correct. And sometimes my real name does appear to the host. But more often what the host sees and comes up on my window is Zoom User. If the window comes up I can change it manually. But the problem is when a host sees Zoom User and won't let me in.

My window shows my name as Zoom User. When that shows in the waiting room, I am often not allowed in. Nothing has helped. Here are the instructions for changing your name:
This has been an ongoing problem. I've never heard of anyone else being called Zoom User instead of their correct name.

None of what you have listed has anything to do with the name displayed in the Zoom participant list. That name is set as was shown above when you MANUALLY join a meeting you enter the name in the text box just below the meeting ID text box. By default that name is set to "Zoom User". You need to change it to what ever name you want displayed in the participant list and make sure that "Remember my name for future meetings" is checked. If you are joining a meeting via a link then you have skipped this entire process.

Thanks! I got the first step, but in the Zoom Workplace I don't see "Remember my name for future meetings." Can you tell me what steps to take, step by step, to get to wherever I go to make a permanent change?

Assuming that you are using a PC.
Start the Zoom desktop client
Click "Join a meeting"
enter meeting ID
On the "Join meeting dialog window" enter the name you want shown in the textbox below the Meeting ID textbox
Check "Remember my name for future meetings"
Click Join
Enter passcode
click join meeting
The name you entered will now be remembered for all future meetings.
See screens below.

Check your meeting platform settings for name display options, as it may be overriding your profile settings. Additionally, ensure that your profile is fully updated and synced; sometimes logging out and back in can refresh your information.
