"GM" Name in Chat Window?

Hello friends!

I am returning to FG after one year of not playing (and an unintentional SSD wipe :( ). When hosting a 5E campaign, I much prefer my chat name to appear as "DM" instead of "GM". I thought I had done that successfully before but cannot find a forum post on it now, nor did my attempts work.

So, my question: can I set my chat name to be "DM" instead of "GM"?

What I have done so far: I created a new campaign, made my username "DM". Also downloaded the "GMicon" extension to give a cool picture for DM, though I don't think that affects the chat name itself. Searched several angles online/in forums without finding what I thought I found before.

Can this be done, so that when I type to players, it says "DM" instead of "GM in the chat window? Thanks! -V

Great, thank you! That solved it. For anyone else who reads this, the short answer is type "/gmid DM" into the chat window. If you're newer like me, I recommend reviewing the guide he linked. Thanks again, Trenloe!

Just found this thread February 28, 2022 and this solution for changing your chat name as a GM (DM) still works perfectly.
