How do I change my CarmenZoom display name?

Your CarmenZoom display name is synced with your official university Directory Information every time you log in. If you add a preferred name to your Directory Information, it will sync with your CarmenZoom profile instead of your legal name. To add a preferred name: 

1. Log in to my.osu.edu. 
2. Click on My OSU Identity Information. 
3. In Preferred Names section you can submit a change for your first and last name. Please be aware that the names you enter will be used across many university platforms and websites.    

You can also change your name on a per meeting basis if a meeting host allows it. To change your name in a CarmenZoom meeting: 

1. Click on Participants in the Zoom tool bar. 
2. Find your name in the list and click Rename. 
3. Enter the name you would like to appear while in the meeting, then click OK. 

Previously, users were able to change their display name in CarmenZoom by editing the first & last name fields in their profile. This was a loophole that appears to have been closed by the vendor. 

If you want to add your preferred pronouns to your display name, you can do so by editing your profile at carmenzoom.osu.edu.
