How to change developer name?

[XFox111]

I want to change my publisher name that is displayed on extension store page.

I've checked every setting I have in Partner Center, but didn't find anything. The closest thing I found is profile contact info in account settings. But it didn't affect my display name.

How do I change it?

Hi @ManikanthMSFT. No, it wasn't. It still shows the old one

Hi @XFox111, could you please try to send us the screen recording of you trying to update your publisher's name to our email by mentioning #201 so that we can assist you further.

Hi @ManikanthMSFT, I have sent the email to ext_dev_support@microsoft.com (I assume this address is correct, because the link you've sent me is broken). The video is a bit over 50 MB, so I attached it as a link to my OneDrive, I hope it's okay.

So, I was in contact with @ManikanthMSFT over email. Eventually the issue was resolved.

For those who has the similar issue, you need to do the following:

1. Go to Account Settings -> Legal Info
2. Click "Update" over "Contact Info"
3. Update your Publisher name and click "Save"
4. (Important) re-submit all your extensions (either by releasing a new version, or updating package store metadata)

Once your submission is approved the extension should display your new name.

For some reason it wasn't working for me for a while (I've updated the name a long time ago, and released multiple versions since then, but the name remained the same). Now it works though

Again, thanks to @ManikanthMSFT for their help :)
