📌 Why this matters

Webex allows meeting participants to change their display name mid-call without any admin intervention, making it easy to correct typos, use a preferred name, or add a job title for professional context. This feature matters because it gives users real-time control over how they are identified during live meetings, reducing confusion in large calls or cross-company sessions. For organizations running Webex at scale, this self-service capability saves time and keeps meetings running smoothly without requiring host assistance.
