More or less the same idea like Jeremy:
When users use a phone or VoiP client to dial in to BBB then their names are
numbers
(e.g. 3174646536364) which can be quite confusing if you sit in a room with
more than
5 people.
Idea ; make the username-textfield edittable for the host/presenter so he can
change
the name of the user into a readable name like John, Hans, T. Becker, yo_momma
or Ali G

This is not just a simple client-side change ; the changed names have to be
broadcasted to the voice-participants window of all connected users.

If BBB can send the message through to the Asterisk Manager Interface, the
setvar
command can be sent to rename the channel.
Then the next time it looks up the participant list the names of the channels
will be
set.

EG:
Action: Setvar
Channel: SIP/202
Variable: CALLERID(name) OR CALLERIDNAME
Value: Clint Davis

Clint,
The problem is that a phone user that is not using the BBB phone client has no way
of being associated with the corresponding web user. So, changing the name of
the web
user can not change the name of the voice user - unless they are using the BBB
phone
through their computer. Now, of course, we could add a change name dialog to
both web
and phone, and handle the phone as you suggest.

Walter,
If you have caller ID configured on Asterisk, the text value of the caller ID should
appear instead if they are calling via phone.

So far all calls using my own phone (PSTN) showed as a number including the
international accesscode which is quite confusing for nationals.
Even then, when callers are using a cellphone or a office-line those names are
often
not correct, if available at all.
If the host/presenter could change the name and then broadcast the updated list
to
all users it would be fine. I know this will require a bit of work.
