Hi Everyone,

When you stop a video via the Dashboard the user will get a message like this:

[![](https://i.imgur.com/nMwP3O6.jpeg) ](https://i.imgur.com/nMwP3O6.jpeg)

Is there a way to change the selected text in the above, or at the very least replace the username “gregeeh” with something more meaningful?

TIA

No, there’s no option to change that part of the notification.

Thanks for your reply. No option to change the username to a “friendly” name?

You can set a friendly name for your account (see `Settings` \> `Account` \> `Full Name` or `View Profile` \> `Edit Profile` \> `Full Name`). I‘m not sure if this will be used in those notifications, though (never tested this myself).
