Modifying your Zoom name prior to a meeting can be a beneficial means of personalizing your appearance and facilitating others in identifying you. Though typically an account on Zoom permits you to alter your display name, there are alternative methods to change your name without an account. In this article, I will provide you with instructions on how to adjust your Zoom name before a meeting without having an account.
Step 1: Join the Meeting
To change your Zoom name without an account, the first step is to join the Zoom meeting. You can do this by clicking on the meeting link or entering the Meeting ID provided by the meeting host.
Step 2: Access the Zoom Settings
Once you have joined the meeting, you need to access the Zoom settings. To do this, hover your mouse over the bottom of the meeting window. A toolbar will appear, and you should click on the “Participants” button. This will open a Participants panel on the right side of the screen.
Step 3: Change Your Display Name
In the Participants panel, you will see a list of all the participants in the meeting. Locate your name in the list and hover your mouse over it. A “More” button will appear next to your name. Click on the “More” button and select the “Rename” option.
A pop-up window will appear, allowing you to enter your new display name. Type your desired name and click on the “OK” button to save the changes.
Step 4: Confirm Your New Name
After changing your display name, you will see your new name reflected in the Participants list and on your video feed. This new name will be visible to all meeting participants.
