How do I list my full name as my display name?

When I enter my display name in the proper location HERE, it won't let me put a space between my first and last name anymore.  Please help.  Thank you!

    Are you seeing an error? Are you able to type externally and then copy and paste into that box?

    Thank you!  Typing externally and then copy-paste did the trick.

    You can also do a right click on your video when you are in a meeting and select Rename.

    Yes, but not always.  And I want it to say my first and last name as the default.  Right now I'm in a zoom meeting where my video is not displayed, but I'm able to write in the chat.  I want my first and last name in there too - but there's nowhere to change it.

    Changing your display in your web settings will not change your name within a meeting in progress.

     

    You have to rename yourself within the meeting, if it is allowed by the Host - which it isn't always.

     

    Right-click yourself in the meeting and choose rename there.
