Hide real name from Xbox Dashboard

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.

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.

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.

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.
