IMPORTANT: IT IS NOT SUGGESTED TO LEAVE THIS FEATURE TURNED OFF. When you turn this feature off, students are able to use names that aren't their actual names in your class, and it makes your class susceptible to take-over from malicious folks. If you need to turn this feature off for a meeting, PLEASE turn it back on when finished. If your meeting is taken over because you have disabled this feature, IT will not investigate.
