# Message Origins

Disable/Enable message origin display in displaynames

## ShowOrigin setting

The `ShowOrigin` setting can toggle whether or not a message's origin will appear in the display name. This is visible in the connection chat. 

Customizable through `/manage settings ShowOrigin` or `/manage settings SO`
