How to change your name on Zoom

Your Zoom name is boring. Sorry, someone had to break it to you. Might as well be us.

No, not your actual name. We’re talking about your display name. Which may just be your actual name. But why make your actual name your display name when you can make it anything? Or add 42069 at the end?

“Because you use Zoom for work and you’ll get fired?”

What kind of perfectly legitimate and valid excuse is that?

Well, if you do want to change your Zoom display name, these are the steps to follow:

1. Open your Zoom app.

2. Find your profile icon in the top right corner and click on it.

7. Go to your profile.

8. Where you see your name, click “Edit” on the right.

9. Type in the display name of your choice in the text bar.

10. Scroll to the bottom and click “Save.”

You are now the proud owner of a brand new and super cool Zoom display name! Enjoy it.

Or go back in and change it in a week.
