I am setting up a class team for the first time. I have a few students who are not known by their official name which comes up as I set up my team. Can I change them to the name they prefer to go by and which their classmates only know them by?

    Thanks for that but I want to rename individual students in my class Team. For example I have a student whose official name is Amanda and that is what comes up when I import the names when setting up the Class Team but she is known in school as Holly and that's what the teachers and her classmates know her as so it is strange for her to be Amanda in the team. I just couldn't see a way to change her name to her preferred one

    Hi Sarah,

    I see your request now.

    The students’ and teachers’ names in Teams sync from Azure Active Directory. It’s not available to change them directly in Teams. Generally, it also does not make sense to change their full name in Azure Active Directory because they are official information for them in school tenant system. Furthermore, generally only human resource department or school admin have the permission to change them.

    Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Regards,

    Rena

    Hi Sarah,

    Do you mean you want to change the student section group name?

    You can rename the student section group name via OneNote for Windows 10 client app. Right-click the student section group to rename section group. The changes will be reflected to Class Notebook Online after syncing. And based on my test, renaming the section group will not affect assignment integration.

     

    But student can only see his own section group in student view in a class notebook. I assume changing the name of them will just only benefit teacher.

    Regards,

    Rena
