Renaming yourself on Zoom is a beneficial method to customize your online gatherings and make it easier for others to recognize you. In this article, I will provide step-by-step instructions for Chromebook users on how to change their name on Zoom.
Step 1: Accessing Zoom Settings
To begin, open the Zoom app on your Chromebook. If you don’t have it already, you can download it from the Chrome Web Store.
Once you have the Zoom app open, click on the gear icon at the top right corner of the screen. This will take you to the Zoom settings menu.
Step 2: Editing your Profile
In the settings menu, you will see a list of options on the left side of the screen. Click on “Profile” to access your Zoom profile settings.
Here, you can make various changes to your profile, including your name. Click on the “Edit” button next to your name to modify it.
A pop-up window will appear, allowing you to enter your new name. Type in your desired name and click “Save” to confirm the changes.
Step 3: Testing the Name Change
After saving your new name, it’s a good idea to test it out to make sure it appears correctly in Zoom meetings. Join a Zoom meeting or start a test meeting to see how your name appears to others.
If your new name is not displaying correctly, double-check that you followed the steps correctly and try editing your profile name again.
