# How Canada Air Virtual Uses Discord



# Your Canada Air Identity

To maintain consistency, your Discord nickname should be:  
`[Your Callsign] - [First Name] [Last Initial]`  
Example: `CAN3023 - Jan P`

To change your nickname:

1. Right-click your name in the member list or server menu.
2. Select **Edit Server Profile.**
3. Update your **Nickname** field and save.

You can also use the `/pilot_name` command.
