How To Change Your Name In Google Meet

Published

Your Google Meet name is the same as the name you use for all other Google services, including Gmail and Google Docs. Your Google account allows you to make changes to all of your personal information, including your name, gender, birthday, and profile picture. Because Google Meet is directly linked to your Google account, you will not be able to alter your name for the purpose of using Google Meet only. Instead, you’ll have to modify the name associated with your Google account, and this change will be reflected across all of the Google applications.

It will be demonstrated in this article how to alter your name in Google Meet across several devices. In addition, we’ll go over the steps involved in creating a Google account moniker.

Why You Might Want to Change Your Name on Google Meet

There are a few reasons why you might want to change your name on Google Meet, including:

  • Wanting to let another person use your Google account for a video meeting.
  • Wanting to update your first or last name if you’ve legally changed it.
  • Wanting to use a nickname or alias for privacy reasons.
  • Wanting to include your middle name.

Google used to restrict the amount of times you may alter your name in a certain period of time. That has now changed. You may, however, modify it as many times as you wish at this point.
