Zoom – Instructions to Set Participant Name

Zoom allows participants to join a meeting with and without a Zoom account. If you have a Zoom account, most likely you do not need to follow this guide as you entered your full name when your account was created.

If you do not have a Zoom account and joining a meeting as a guest, you will need to set your participant name. Follow the below instructions:

• Open Zoom on your computer

• If you can open Zoom, resume instructions below at “You should now see:”
  If you do not see a Zoom icon on your desktop, follow the below three steps and then continue to the end.

• Click the start menu (windows icon) located on the bottom left corner of your main screen

• Type “Zoom” (note: there is no field to type in, just start typing and it will appear)

• Click the Zoom icon

• You should now see:

• Click Join a Meeting

• Enter meeting ID

• Prefix – Full Name

For example:
P – Sally Perkins for Plaintiff
PW – John Smith for Plaintiff Witness
PE – Paul Hanks for Plaintiff Expert

DW – Tina West for Defendant Witness
DE – Doug Davis for Defendant Expert
CR – Sarah Murphy for Court Reporter
