Change Skype display name on your side

[thumbtak]

I made a script that will change the name that is shown on Skype, web version, when you log in. This is because I use Skype for work, on the Desktop computer and needed to display a different name, when others see my Skype app.

1. Install Tampermonkey from your browsers web store.
2. Click “Tampermonkey => Create a new script”
3. Edit the below code with the display name as the one you see in Skype, near the bottom when you log in at http://preview.web.skype.com. Replace the name you want to display. AAA (in the script) is the default name, and BBB is the name you want to change it to.
4. Copy and paste the new code to Tampermonkey and save it.
5. Press F5 on the browser version of Skype to refresh the page.

// ==UserScript==
// @name Change Skype Username
// @namespace https://taksshack.com/
// @version 0.4
// @description Changes the displayed username on Skype Preview
// @match https://preview.web.skype.com/*
// @grant GM_addStyle
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
'use strict';

function changeUsername() {
GM_addStyle('div[data-text-as-pseudo-element="AAA"]:before { content: "BBB" !important; }');
}

window.onload = changeUsername;
})();
