Make it possible for members of a Teams meeting to hide their full names
Make it possible for the host of a Teams meeting to hide names of participants.
When conducting interviews we are having candidates inappropriately contact members of the prospective managerial team. It would be nice to hide everyone's name except the point of contact / meeting host.

What is the status of this? Can you still not hide the names of participants???

If group parenting programmes are held in MS Teams (in the current climate), parent attendees' email addresses need to be confidential and not seen by other other parent attendees .
A feature for the organiser to be able to withhold attendee's personal information would be very helpful. -

We also really need this functionality

We need the ability for contact info to be hidden in Teams.

Essential if we're to use Teams for small webinars

When hosting meetings with students it would be helpful to hide their names for confidentiality so I can then share the recording of the meeting with other students.

It would be helpful to allow meeting participants (whether they dial in via browser, Wind App or Teams App) to amend their own name display in this meeting.

This is essential if Teams is to hope to mimic "real life" If I were to send a letter to someone to invite them to a meeting I wouldn't have to put the details of every other attendee/invitee in the letter. If a meeting is on a sensitive subject that could result in an attendee becoming quite disgruntled I would shudder to think of the consequences should that party decide to take matters further using the information they were able to extract from their invitation.

Beyond just hiding their full names there are certain options that should be available to Presenters.
Either Attendees should not have access to the attendees list or it should be an option to allow or deny access to the attendees list along with other meeting administrative functions. -

Zoom have this option and Microsoft should give this priority, as now in day MS Team is used almost every sector.

It would be great to have the option to completely anonymous the attendees - names, initials on the graphic, etc because some meetings can be sensitive but also it may involve scenarios like double blind testing

How about letting me as a California resident disable any data collection on my machine, IP address, name, typing style, how I use the mouse, computer screen size, computer name, domain name, internet provider?
Don't collect the telemetry in the first place instead of "Oops, we're sorry. Why wouldn't everyone like to share all of their data and become Microsoft's monitization product?"
Privacy means keeping data safe in Excange and SQL databases as well as NOT COLLECTING it from uses.
For example, Windows 10 computer used by my under 13 year old child sends data on when he boots up the machine, when he runs an appliation and a lot more.
I did not sign a clear and easy to understand agreement to let Microsoft collect data illegally on my minor child.

I am training people who have clicked on simulated phishing emails and I don't want to call out everyone by name. It would be great if meeting attendees could be anonymous.
Thank you!

This would be a life-saver because the new EU guidelines keep my professors and group members from recording or sharing lectures since the students' names are visible.

utilissima, dato che consente di nascondere i nomi dei partecipanti di una riunione Teams

I want to run an online yoga class for students with anxiety/MH issues and if they are aware that they are visible to others it will act as a barrier. Eventually, I'd like to extend it out beyond my organisation too so having names visible could present safeguarding issues.
