Change Your Zoom Name and Password

Source-checked About 5 minutes

Answer

Change your Zoom display name from your profile, and change your password only through Zoom's account security controls. The available path depends on whether you sign in with a Zoom password, Google, Apple, Facebook, or single sign-on.

Identify your Zoom sign-in method

Check whether you use a Zoom email and password, Google, Apple, Facebook, or single sign-on. A linked sign-in provider may manage the password instead of Zoom.

Open your Zoom profile

In the Zoom desktop app, select your profile picture, then Profile and My profile. On mobile, open your profile and choose Display name.

Edit the name shown to others

Enter the first name, last name, or display name you want Zoom to show, then save the profile change.

Open password management

If you use a Zoom password, open Zoom's official password-management page while signed in and choose the password-change option.

Set a new unique password

Enter your current password when requested, create a new password you do not reuse elsewhere, and save it only after reviewing the account shown.

Test the correct sign-in

Sign out and sign back in once using your usual method. If you use Google, Apple, Facebook, or SSO, manage the password with that provider or administrator instead.

Video walkthrough

If it does not work

  • If an organisation administrator or SSO mapping controls the display name, ask that administrator rather than trying to override the account setting.
  • If you forgot a Zoom password, use Zoom's official password-reset flow. Never give a reset code to another person.
  • Changing a Zoom display name does not rename a linked Google, Apple, Facebook, or SSO identity. Update that provider only when you intend to change it there too.
