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.

Definitely need this! I don't like using my full name, which is what my workplace has set me up with. Also for some meetings we want to be able to add on things like what we're working on, for shorthand so we know what area/project people are working on. We keep using other online meeting apps instead, which enable us to use their re-naming functions

Hi,
You have super nice and easy feature to rename the files and similar functionality will be welcomed for the change or update of member name. It looks simple to enable this change in Microsoft Teams for the change of the member or guest name. Please make it happen as lists of participants are getting bigger and bigger and it will be helpful updating names with some more convenient name structure. Thank you! -

Making this change would go a long way towards respecting people's individual civil rights and making Teams a welcoming and inclusive space.

It's important for people to be able to add their pronouns to their name as they can on Zoom.

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

Through using Microsoft Teams for class discussions, students get to interact with other students amongst the class which creates a safe atmosphere for students to engage and converse with each other. As a safe atmosphere, we have to acknowledge in order to create a safe space we have to respect everyone. Therefore, there should be a feature that helps students feel comfortable about their identity in class.

This is essential, and it is disgraceful that it was not thought of and included in the original roll out of this software. Please I urge you to make this a priority immediately!!!

I would like to be able to customize user display name to allow better identification of the individual team members. Some people have strange e-mail adresses and are worse to recognize in larger teams.

We also have users who join our classes from a shared computer and automatically get dropped in the meeting under a previous guests' name. Allowing a user to change their display name would be extremely helpful for us!
