Instructions on Renaming Yourself on Zoom

Zoom lets other members in the call see your name. It will automatically post your full name. If you wish to change the name in view to only your first name, please follow the instructions below:

  1. Join the call.

  2. Once in the call, you may notice your name Zoom displays is both your first and last name.

  3. Let the host (our staff member) know you want this changed. They will rename you to just your first name or nickname you prefer, which may take a few moments.

  4. See your updated name on the screen. If this does not appear changed, let the host know so they can troubleshoot.

  5. You’re in, and we can proceed to the activities!

  6. Note: There is also a way to rename yourself if you click on the Participants Panel:

    1. Click on the “Participants” panel located in the main bar of Zoom.

    2. Hover over your name.

    3. Click on the “More” option.

    4. Select “Rename.”

    5. Type in your desired name.

    6. Click the checkbox to save your name for future meetings if it is not already clicked.

    7. Click “Ok.”

Tips: This works best with a computer.
