Display names and icons
If there is a meeting with multiple people with the same initials, participants can change their display name and icon to allow you to identify them.
By default, the first initials of their first and last name are used. They can update their user profile with their preferred name and initials, even if their account was created via Google login, Single Sign On (SSO) or SCIM. They will also be assigned a different colour.
To do so:
Click on your AVATAR icon followed by PROFILE.
Update your INITIALS to your preference.
- You also have the option to select an avatar or image to be your display character instead.
Except where anonymity is enabled:
- Your preferred name will be used throughout the UI
- Your preferred initials will be displayed in avatars unless you’ve provided an image
This feature makes it easier to differentiate users with the same initials, and ensures your preferences are saved and not overwritten by Google+ or SCIM.
NOTE: If you already have a profile picture/avatar, you will need to remove it to be able to set your preferred initials.
