In some Zoom meetings, the connection requires only putting your name. On other Zoom connections, you’re required to add your name and country. It can be easy to forget to add the necessary information with so many connections.
But, just because you forgot to add the country you’re connecting from, that doesn’t mean it can’t be done once you’ve connected. Zoom allows its users to change their names before and during the meetings, whether you’re on your Android device or your computer. By knowing where to look, you can change your name at any time.
