I have gotten quite a few contacts using Oovoo for a couple of months now, both colleagues and friends.

I would very much like to rename my account name that people use to find me, to my real name.

- Is this possible? 

Thanks in advance,

Andreas Wieslander 

Currently, NO it's not possible to rename your existing current account. But you can create a new one, but you'll have to inform (tell) your contacts what your new account name is, in order for them to add you and vice-versa.

Thanks for the information fortra: I appreciate the help!

Hi Andreas,

Wes (Fortra) is correct. You cannot change your ID. You CAN, however, keep your ID and change your Display Name - the name that appears in other people's contact lists. You would do this here: FILE/EDIT MY OOVOO CARD/

Just another option.

(Thanks Wes)

Best regards,

No problem Dave !

Thats why it's very important for NEW users to understand once you have created your oovoo login account name you "CAN'T CHANGE IT AFTERWARDS !!!" so for whatever reason(s), e.g you dont like your oovoo account name etc. So be very careful in what you decide to use when choosing in a oovoo name. In particularly when you have a lot of friends within your oovoo contact list. You'll have to manually do the same process all over again. Your display name doesn't have the the same level of importance as the oovoo account name. And it's the "oovoo account name" that's the one, that has preference here over anything else.
