The online meeting participants displayName is null in identiy user.

Question

Hello,

I'm currently building an in-meeting Teams app. I have a NodeJS BE trying to fetch the data from /v1.0/me/onlineMeetings and unfortunately, when receiving the payload, for the meeting, the participants displayName is null in identiy user object. That is for the all the users (organizer and attendees).

           "participants": {
                "organizer": {
                    ...
                    "identity": {
                        "acsUser": null,
                        "spoolUser": null,
                        "phone": null,
                        "guest": null,
                        "encrypted": null,
                        "onPremises": null,
                        "acsApplicationInstance": null,
                        "spoolApplicationInstance": null,
                        "applicationInstance": null,
                        "application": null,
                        "device": null,
                        "user": {
                            "id": "...",
                            "displayName": null, // I need the name here
                            "tenantId": "...",
                            "registrantId": null,
                            "identityProvider": "AAD"
                        }
                    }
                },

            },

Am I simply missing a permission or something?

@GabrielLabelle-1076 -
Engineering team has confirmed that it's by design that display name in onlinemeeting response is never exposed.
