# Rename Stream

The stream name is the title that is displayed on the left side bar in the **Show Viewer** page. The **Show Publisher** has the ability to change the name of this after the stream has been created, this change will reflect for every **Show Viewer** who views the left side bar after the change. To change the name of the stream use the following procedure:

1. From the home page, select the **ShowViewer** portal for the show where you would like to rename a stream.
