**Description**  
Enable “Show names of annotators” by default.

Hello,

Is there any way, with the API or the Website’s settings, to switch that “Show names of annotators” would be always enabled by default, for a specific meeting?

Picture attached.

Hey @osdev,

We do not have this setting in the API currently.

Feel free to add this as a feature request here: #feature-requests

Thanks,  
Tommy
