Back in 2014, a dedicated Plex customer asked<\/a> why he couldn\u2019t use a custom display name like \u201cDad\u201d 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.<\/p>\n

You can now set a custom display name to show within the Plex app<\/a> and on the Plex profile select screen. This display name can be your full name, a nickname, or anything else you desire\u2014unlike usernames, Plex display names are non-unique, so you don\u2019t need to worry if a name like \u201cAndrew\u201d or \u201cMom\u201d is already taken.<\/p>\n

Changing your Plex display name<\/a> is easy. Just fire up the Plex app on iOS or Android, open the sidebar menu (the three lines in the top left corner), and tap your profile photo. Then, tap \u201cEdit Profile\u201d and change your Full Name to your desired display name.<\/p>\n

Custom display names or \u201cfriendly names\u201d have been one of Plex users\u2019 top requests since 2014. Hundreds of people, including Plex employees, shared their support for the idea in an incredibly long support thread<\/a>. (Funny enough, the person who originally requested this feature now works for Plex.)<\/p>\n

Your Plex app should look a lot cleaner once you replace your awkward username with a cool display name. Just don\u2019t forget to set a Plex color theme for maximum customization!<\/p>\n
