Here is a query from our fellow community member Mark.
“Hi there, I just started using Webex and am expecting a solution to an issue I am facing now. I installed the Webex app with my name and email; therefore, my name naturally appears in meetings. But for some unavoidable reason, I don’t want to show my real name in some meetings. So, is there any way to change my display name on Webex?”
Well, thanks for your query, Mark. It’s super easy. Just follow the instructions below.
Change Display Name from Desktop
