Description

I would like to see in nextcloud, option to change username/avatar when chat is public (when I am creating chat with link).
Sometimes, I have to chat with "guests" and I don't want to share my name, surname and my photo.

Research direction

The issue does not identify files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the public-chat creation flow and guest identity display in the Nextcloud Talk codebase, then determine how a guest could provide a separate username and avatar. Done means guests in link-accessible chats can choose those values without exposing their account identity.
