reviewgeek After 7 Years, Plex Finally Lets You Edit your Display Name

[ENTERPRISE]

Quote

Back in 2014, a dedicated Plex customer asked why he couldn’t use a custom display name like “Dad” on the profile select screen. Family members added to your account can have these custom display names, so why are you forced to live with a clunky username? Seven years later, Plex is finally addressing the issue.

 

You can now set a custom display name to show within the Plex app and on the Plex profile select screen. This display name can be your full name, a nickname, or anything else you desire—unlike usernames, Plex display names are non-unique, so you don’t need to worry if a name like “Andrew” or “Mom” is already taken.

Figured we have a few plex users here who may like this.

Guess I don't need to do the work around for my kid anymore, of him having his own Plex account email.  This is going to be SUPER useful on my living room setup!  Yay!  Wonder when this was released, I haven't updated my servers in a few weeks so I think its been available for a while.  Very neat update!
