How to change display name in Microsoft Teams

Anonymous

Hello, I have been invited as a guest to an organization in MS Teams and I need to change my display name into my first and last name accordingly but it doesn't seem to be giving me that option.

I have also changed my name in my MS account itself and have logged out and back in again on the organization but still the same.

Any workaround with this? Thanks.

    Attendees of a LIVE ONGOING MEETING cannot change their names unlike ZOOM where we can individually change our display names withoit necessarily having to disturb the Host or Admin.

    This is what we are asking if this can also be done with Teams or is this something you are still working on?

    Hello, so only admins can change the display names? I tried the first link and it only redirects me to the MS Office 365 portal and I couldn't find the Admin page. Tried portal.office.com/adminportal but it doesn't let me log in either.

    Welcome Gilberto,

    I'm an independent advisor and I'm here to help you. Please follow this thread: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/education_m...

    If it doesn't work, the name may need to be defined when adding the guest user: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/fccb4f...

    Hope it helps.

    Regards.
