Allow the Organizer to edit Attendees names during the meeting

Hello, I am currently utilizing Go To desktop App with the following version(s): Windows states version 4.15.0, whereas the client about section states version 0.156.0.

When hosting meetings, there are instances where participants fail to name themselves properly, or provide invalid display names.

When I view the People pane, I can see the three dots options per person in the call. When I select the options for my own name, I see an option to "Edit name & email". However, there is no equivalent option to rename any other participant in the call. I am needing to ability as the host of the call to edit the names of each participant so as to not have to stall a call to draw attention to persons to adjust their own names.

    Hello GlennD​!

    I understand that the ability for a host to administratively rename other meeting participants is not currently available. However, my judge who hosts these meetings for official court hearings is needing this administrative feature as it would take too much time to private message or draw attention to participants during the meetings. Despite displaying a notice for meeting participants in the pre-meeting confirmation page, there are still numerous circumstances where participants incorrectly name themselves.

    Is this post sufficient enough to merit an official request for the feature to be implemented in a future update? Or is there another manner that I should be submitted for a feature request?

     

    Thank you kindly.

    Hi Joseph66,

     

    Only the attendee can edit their name, so you would need to send the a private chat message asking them to edit their name if you do not want to draw attention.
