Yes, if you do not have a name, Zoom will ask you to enter your name and email to authenticate that you’re not a robot.
You do not actually have to enter your email, just something that looks like one. So it must contain an at sign and a period. I have often used d...@d.com <mailto:d...@d.com> which is definitely not an email address, let alone mine. I do take the trouble to write at least my first name so I won’t be iPhone. If you do this in the Zoom app, it can actually remember you if you check a box foer that. You can do this without an account. The supreme advantage to creating a free account is that you can actually save lots of useful settings including ones for how much zoom chatters. And your name will be there once for all. But even without it, you can make the signing in process a little easier than it offers to be.

I did this when I first started using Zoom in late 2018 and I'm always identified by my name when I attend Zoom meetings using the Zoom Cloud Meetings app on my iPhone. Alan Lemly From: viphone@googlegroups.com <mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] <mailto:[mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com]> On Behalf Of R Van Lant Sent: Wednesday, February 24, 2021 6:26 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com <mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> Subject: my name in Zoom meetings Hi, As it true for most of us, I’m doing a lot more meeting by Zoom and I often attend via the app on my phone. If it’s a large group meeting where the attendees do not get to unmute, it seems that I’ll get prompted to register and enter my display name and email. My annoyance is for those meetings that are more casual where I’m just directly connected to the meeting. In these, my display name always comes up as just “iPhone”. I changed the name of my iPhone in IOS Settings to include my name, but this doesn’t carry over to the Zoom. Does anyone know how I can change this? While in a meeting, I cannot find anything in settings that ill allow me to change my display name. If I click on the link in an email, the Zoom app loads and I’m not prompted to enter a name. for others who attend via the Zoom app on the phone, have you found a way to change this or is this just the default for all iPhone app users?
