To change your name on Google Meet when joining as a guest, you enter your preferred name before you join the meeting.
When you join a Google Meet meeting without being signed into a Google account, you are considered a guest. The process for setting your display name is straightforward and happens during the joining process itself.
Steps to Set Your Guest Name on Google Meet
Based on the provided information, here's how you set the name that other participants will see:
- Open Google Meet Link: Click on the specific meeting link you want to join.
- Join as Guest: If you are not signed in to a Google account, Google Meet will recognize you as a guest.
- Enter Display Name: It will ask you to enter your name before joining. Simply type in the name you want to use for the meeting in the field provided.
- Join the Meeting: Once you have entered your name, proceed to join the meeting.
The name you typed in step 3 will be the one displayed to everyone else in the meeting.
Why This Method?
Unlike signed-in users whose names are linked to their Google account profile, guests are given the opportunity to specify a temporary name for that particular meeting session. This allows flexibility if you prefer not to use your full name or need to identify yourself differently for a specific meeting.
Essentially, changing your name as a guest isn't about changing it during the meeting, but rather setting it correctly before you enter. There isn't an option to modify the name displayed once you have joined as a guest using this method. If you need to change your name after joining, you would typically need to leave the meeting and rejoin, entering a different name when prompted again.
