I want to edit my display name or give myself a nickname
When I @mention a team member it displays them as Last Name, First name which really interrupts the conversational flow. Slack lets me edit my display name.

I don't always have people's last name top-of-mind, so having to search for someone to message or to just try to read through chats with @ mentions is a tedious chore. Even if we can't just go to first names only, can't we somehow display FIRST LAST (instead of LAST, FIRST which is so awkward and rather unfriendly)?

I use Teams for corporate training purposes and we need to rename as various characters to be able to run simulations. We cannot seem to do this in Teams and so use Zoom instead and always request that clients use Zoom. Please add this feature!

I work for a university and we have client`s that have O365 accounts with other orgs or Universities so having a presence in Teams with multiple accounts seams to make it difficult for other users to know which account they should contact.

Our teams need to be able to edit their display for a variety of reasons such as, edit the name to include their university name when in cross-university Teams meetings or to add their preferred pronouns. Zoom allows for this display name edit by the user. Please consider this as soon as possible. thank you!

I agree with having the ability to edit the display name but, for security and privacy purposes, there should be an indicator that remains visible for external participants. So there should either be a setting for each team to turn a renaming feature on or off or there should be a static indicator that is displayed for external/guest users.

Would be useful to be able to temporarily edit the display name in a teams meeting. That way you could include your role in the display name and quickly see other peoples roles aswell

Webex allow this feature of user putting their nick name. I don't know when Microsoft will implement this simple feature.

A host or presenter should be able to easily edit his/her name. Similarly, a guest or attendee should also be able to easily edit his name. ZOOM offers this feature and so do other apps, as already mentioned by my colleagues. Sometimes Microsoft programmers unnecessarily make simple things too complicated. What is the big issue of editing a name? We don't want to hear excuses. Just get this done!!! Thank you!
