Display Name is not used

See original GitHub issue

Here’s how I created the instance:

  new window.JitsiMeetExternalAPI("meet.jit.si", {
    roomName: `{this.chat_id}`,
    parentNode: document.getElementById("call-canvas"),
    userInfo: {
      displayName: "Tobi"
    }
  })

But Jitsi still calls me “Fellow Jitsier”. I also tried the keys username and name. The E-Mail feature also doesn’t work. If I pass userInfo: { email: "tobiwimma04@gmail.com" } , no profile picture is shown, although I have set a gravatar picture for this E-Mail.

I have this issue too.

  userInfo: {
    displayName: "JipTest", // Setting displayName here is not working...
    email: "email@jitsiexamplemail.com" // But email does work!
  },

Although I can confirm setting email via userInfo does work for me.

@damencho when you added that in https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/commit/50f47961440c5784e3891b79fa010c77a3cfc5cd it was meant only for analytics, right? @Tobi696 You can send the command to change the display name, it’s documented on the same README.
