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 just don't like being called my full name and prefer the shortened version of my name.

Most people do not know me by my given birth name. I wish this could be adjusted!!

This is a very important function and critical to the the experience of those who do not use birth/dead names. The ability to change display names and pronouns are for respecting identities, empowerment and agency.

The display name and pronouns should be able to be changed.

This is a very common feature on many platforms and would make a huge difference to many people. In some cases, this could prevent someone from being outed and put at risk for harassment. Please make this update.

I agree this would be a good addition. Some people are concerned about security risks if people can change their names. However, our deployment of Teams institutionally limits who can be in a Team so this is not an issue.

This should be a very easy fix since Zoom can do it!

I'm imagining that this should be an easy fix, since people can change their display names on other Office products. This would make a huge difference for so many people.

It's not just uncomfortable, it can downright be dangerous and can lead to bias in the classroom, bullying and harassment both online and offline! Not having this feature is more of a risk than a benefit.

It is critical that campus community members, students, faculty and staff, have access to this functionality.
