How to Change Your Display Name on BIGO LIVE

Tap Me in the bottom menu and select your profile picture. In the editor, find the Name field. Enter the nickname you want people to see and tap Save. Return to your profile to check that it appears as intended.

Steps to change your display name on BIGO LIVE

• Under Me, tap your picture or the top of your profile. If your public profile opens first, look for Edit at the top, as shown in BIGO's screenshot.
• In Edit, find Name under basic information. Open the field and check the exact spelling, spaces, and characters before saving.
• Tap Save on the name screen. Return to the profile and check the result. On a Spanish interface, look for Yo, Editar, Nombre, and Guardar.

The first screen can look different depending on the app version. Look for the Name field. If you land on a screen labeled BIGO ID, go back before saving.

Your nickname appears on your profile and helps people recognize you in chat. Your BIGO ID identifies the account and is useful when contacting support. Editing the Name field does not change the BIGO ID or create another account. Your followers stay connected to the same account.

When to use your nickname or your ID

Your nickname is what people see next to your picture in a room. If you are reporting a problem or want someone to find the right account among similar profiles, share your BIGO ID through an appropriate channel. Editing Name does not change the identifier or disconnect your followers. It also leaves your profile photo, bio, and other settings as they were.

Does changing a display name cost anything?

BIGO's guide describes display name editing as free. If someone asks for money or a code to do it for you, end the conversation and use the profile editor in the app.

Try saying the nickname aloud and asking someone to spell it without seeing it. If it is hard to spell, simplify the symbols. If you already stream, mention the change in your next broadcast or in your bio. If the app rejects the name, read the validation message and try again without the characters it flags.

If the saved name does not appear

Before announcing your new name, check that you can read it on a small screen and tell people how to spell it out loud. If a letter and a number look alike, use simpler characters. That makes the new name easier to recognize in a room.

Reopen your profile after tapping Save. If the app rejects a symbol or emoji, try a shorter name and check the character counter. Once it is saved, ask someone to find you by BIGO ID to confirm how it appears. If it still does not show up, note the app's message and contact Help & Feedback.

If you are rebranding your channel, update your bio and the links where you announce streams. During the transition, a line such as “Formerly Luna Live” can help regular viewers find you.
