I don’t see the setting for display name? And I’m pretty sure you don’t have to have a VPN for people to see your display name if that’s what you’re trying to say.

Yeah? For some people, you need a VPN to get a display name. But once you get a display name you can keep it with or without a VPN turned on.

If you hide yourself and change your avatar and name to a famous player, I think it’s dangerous for real players to use them as abusive language for other players, cheaters in the game, fake stars, etc.

Would really like to give my feedback for display names as, currently, I faced quite an issue…
Just would want to back this up again, the display name’s negative part isn’t really helping when reporting users to moderation, I agree I’ve made a mistake in not checking out their actual username in the player’s list, however, what’s the point of it, if the user is hiding their real username and you have to procure proof?
Just recently, I ran into an exploiter,
I was planning to use this video, as proof to Roblox Support, but I was unsure of the user’s username and even if I did procure their actual username, it still didn’t show for the main username as the display name is hiding, making it hard for Roblox staff to confirm whether or not this is their culprit, as the true username is hidden and replaced by a display one in both chat and username.
This is great for making users no longer have the name like “Josh780” to just Josh, but this can also hinder on gaining proof, especially when the violation requires proof and the only username seen in the proof is the display name and not the actual username, which again makes it hard for confirmation whether that user really did it or not.

Yeah same, and it could be. Maybe this works the same way as the beta program works? Random people get it.

Is this out now?
I saw a lot more new labels with @ handles and I can change my displayname in settings now
Is this FULLY out or just a test again?

No, it’s not out for everyone. I don’t have the option yet (Canada).

Why is Roblox not giving Display Names to everyone yet?

Woohoo! Still, a feature that they don’t release to all beta users!
It amazes me that they still accept 10 - 20 people every week for beta access and yet they barely use it, they instead still resort to releasing it to a % of users instead of beta users. I mentioned more about my mini-rant here on another post relating to the same exact issues.

This kind of issue is why the Display Name should not be completely hidden in-game playerlist, chat box, and overhead names. The only way to see their full username is Esc’s playerlist, and click on a player in in-game playerlist for options.
There are some scripts that show both display name and username in chat box, solved problem. But since there’s no way to show both names in overhead names (because that’s impractical), so I wrote a simple script to replace Display Name with username- also made my own playerlist just to show only usernames. Because I cannot accept Display Name in my games for moderation and evidence reasons.
The key issue is the Display Name is not unique, so it could have 5 players with exactly same Display Names in same server. Anyone can call themselves as “ROBLOX” as well. Not a good feature at all.

I believe so. It seems to be working here in Australia with no VPN.

I noticed I can change my user while I’m not VPNed into Germany, has it been officially released?

It’s rolling out for some accounts in the US. My alt has display names as a setting, but by main does not.
Alt
Main
From this, I think display names will be fully rolled out to everyone in the next day or two.

Yeah, I think so. Another alt I have doesn’t have the option.

I have it, for some reason. A few days ago, I didn’t have it. And @EuropoorSimulator yeah, I think it’s rolling out for some people in the US
