Zoom: Adding gender and identity pronouns to your name

Penn State continues to work to create and maintain an open, safe and inclusive environment honoring gender and sexual diversity. The Center for Sexual and Gender Diversity (CSGD) provides a comprehensive range of education, information and advocacy services to students, faculty, staff and alumni. Starting Nov. 10, Zoom users are now able to add pronouns to their display names and choose when to share them during a meeting or webinar.  

To take advantage of the new pronoun feature, users must be using at least Zoom version 5.7.0. Download the latest version of Zoom or contact your local IT administrator to upgrade Zoom.
