Change name on Microsoft Team

Question

Hi all,

How could I change the name displayed in MTeams.
For example, my colleagues could see ff346, which is my email code, but I would like to show my name and surname instead.

I tried to do it on "My Account" page, but I am prevented from doing any changes.

Hi @Francesco Fusco ,

If you're a team owner, you can manage a team in Microsoft Teams, for example change the name of a team.
More information below:

Manage team settings and permissions in Teams
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/manage-team-settings-and-permissions-in-teams-ce053b04-1b8e-4796-baa8-90dc427b3acc

Change team name, description, and privacy setting
Go to the team name and click More options ... > Edit team. From there, you can set the team name, description, and privacy settings.

For the Microsoft Teams permissions, see:

Assign team owners and members in Microsoft Teams
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/assign-roles-permissions
