Edit user name

A common use case of pre-call UI is to give the user a option to set / edit their name.

Permissions

Requires meeting.self.permissions.canEditDisplayName to be true

In the preset editor, ensure Miscellaneous > Edit Name is toggled enabled.

File: CustomMeetingPreview.tsx

We add a DyteInputField element for entering the participant name. We should not show this input if the user doese not have permission to edit name (permissions.canEditDisplayName)

await meeting.self.setName(participantName); sets the new name for the participant.

At the end, we let user join the meeting using await meeting.join();.
