How to change username/handle in the community?

[vorlock]

I've created profile long time ago but only recently came about to participate a bit more in it and just noticed that my nick/username/handle is not what I'd like to see, but also I can't find any way to change it.

Amy hints/pointers how to do it?

Hello @vorlock  ,Welcome on Google Cloud Community.

Changing your community username

When choosing a username in the community, it's important to know that the username you choose will be visible to the public. We suggest using your first name and last name initial, following this format: firstname_lastinitial (e.g. Andrew_B for Andrew Biernat). 

We also recommend consistently using the same username, so all community members can easily recognize each other - thereby leading to a greater sense of community and belonging.

However, we understand that there can be certain reasons in which it's important to change your username, such as changes to your name or company, or privacy regarding your real name. To change your community username, please complete this form and a member of the Google Cloud Community team will be in touch with next steps within 2-3 business days.
