Ability to modify a user's display name in a session
Prior to this release, event presenters did not have the option to change the display name of a user while in session.
With this release, Cornerstone Classroom event presenters have the ability to change the display name of users while a Cornerstone Classroom session is in progress.
To change a display name of a user in a session, presenters can right-click a person name in the People Panel. The context menu now displays a new Change display name menu item. Selecting the new menu item launches a dialog box that they can use to enter the new display name. They can specify the new display name and click the OK button.
The following figures illustrate how a presenter can change the display name of a user in session.
- Text Chat
Each time the display name of a user is changed, the text chat displays a line stating that a user's display name was changed, including the former and new display names.
New chat messages sent by the user will show the new display name. However, chat messages sent by the user before the name change, continue to display the user's previous display name.

The text chat log also includes the appropriate display name at the time the message was sent.
In the client's text chat Send to drop-down list, the new display name is used.
- Whiteboard
While selecting an existing shape on the whiteboard, the owner's display name at the time the shape was created, is shown.

- People Panel
The People panel always displays a user's current display name. Each time the display name is changed, it is updated in the People panel.
- Breakout Tool
The list of users to move into a breakout room use the display names at the time the tool is launched.
- Status Panel
When users are speaking, their current display name is always used. If a user's display name changes while they are speaking, then the Status panel also updates to use the new display name.

- Video Panels
The Video panel always uses a user's current display name to identify secondary and primary video panels. If a user's display name changes while they are broadcasting a video, then all corresponding Video panels in the session are updated with the new name.

- Appshare
When a user is appsharing, the Appshare always displays the user's current display name to others. If a user's display name changes while appsharing, then the Appshare host's display name is also updated with the new display name for all users in the session.
If a user, whose display name is changed, loses network connection and does a re-login, then the client uses the user's original display name to log into the event. Once the login is complete, the client automatically sets the user's display name to the value it was prior to losing the network connection.
