    Hide real name from Xbox Dashboard


    Hi,

    this is more a feature request than a question. I want to hide the real name and email from the xbox dashboard (shown in the upper left corner). In case of streaming I don't want to show others my real name and email when switching to the dashboard. Or is there an option already that i haven't found yet?

    Greetings,

    Mike

    :)

    Hello!

    My name is Dérek, I'm an independent platform consultant and I'm grateful for the opportunity to help you.

    MikeThomson1708, the best way for you to send a suggestion directly to the responsible team is by downloading the HUB app on your windows, and sending that suggestion there.

    Another question would be if you are broadcasting on Twitch, send the suggestion directly to their team as well.

    Suggestions are always welcome

    I remain at your disposal if you have any further questions.

    Hide real name from Xbox Dashboard

    Hi Mike,

    You can hide your email address from the Xbox dashboard in Settings > Account > Sign-in, security & passkey, then toggle off the ‘Show on Home’ option for your email address:

    Add or hide your email address on your Xbox Home screen | Xbox Support

    As far as I know, there’s unfortunately not currently any way to hide your real name though. You can control who is able to see your name in your profile and edit it, however. This is in your privacy settings - to access this on console: Settings > Account > Privacy & online safety > Xbox privacy, then select Profile under customise. There are options from there to edit your real name and decide who to allow (everyone, friends, specific friends, or block) for it to appear visible to.

    The official Xbox Idea Hub would be the best place to request any features and share feedback:

    Hope this helps.

    How do I hide my real name from the Xbox One dashboard?

    Hello A. User,

    I sincerely apologize for the delayed response and if I missed some information in your original post. As per this thread (Hide real name from Xbox Dashboard - Microsoft Community), there's no option to hide the real name on your Xbox dashboard, only the email. However, you can edit your name or how your name appears from your Microsoft account settings. You can go to Microsoft account | Home. Select Your info, select Edit name, and then update the name you want others to see.

    You can also manage the people who can see your real name by going to Profile & system > Settings > Account > Privacy & online safety > Xbox Live privacy on your Xbox Console.

    For your reference, you may also check this link: Real name sharing on Xbox | Xbox Support

    I hope this information helps. If you need further assistance, you can contact Xbox Live Support. You can reach them on this link: Contact us | Xbox Support. Click on "Contact Us" to chat with Live Support or request a callback.

    Sincerely,
