Displaying Full Names or Short Names
You can view full names (names with their server addresses) or short names (names without their server addresses). By default, Sametime Connect displays full names.
Note This setting affects the names of regular users only. The names of external users and nicknames are not affected by this setting.
To display short names:
- Sametime Connect for the desktop: Choose Options - Show Short Names to place a check mark next to the menu option.
- Sametime Connect for browsers: Choose Options - Show Short Names. The menu option automatically changes to Options - Show Full Names.

Tip If two people in your company have the same first and last names, they might have identical short names. You can easily identify each person by creating unique nicknames or by displaying full names.
