When I’m racing in large group it is very hard to watch up the road when there are constant name banners covering the screen. I do like the banners in some instances but in a full pack it limits visibility allot. I would propose adding a keyboard button/shortcut to toggle the above avatar names on/off. This way in a full race a simple push of a button would clean up the view from the peleton. Otherwise we can not see activity at the front of the pack.
Can’t say it’s ever bothered me, but I definitely agree it should be either a toggle or a preference setting.

Oh come on Casey! Out of all of the things that need fixed and this is what you want to focus on? 
You have my vote on this because it can be annoying, especially when there are so many name tags stacked that you can’t actually tell who anyone behind you is.

I am up for a button to clear the screen, not that I am always in a big group but it is annoying at times.

Agreed - causes issues for me on iPad in group events with kom/sprint efforts, as can’t see the start lines coming!

I really enjoyed the mountain bike steering segment, it worked very well and help me focus and work harder! Something I found very distracting were the little labels flying left to right at the bottom of the screen of the riders distance’s behind me. With this twisty course and some riders not using steering and bouncing back and forth, the fast moving, distracting labels were just below the path I was trying to steer to. It would be great to be able to toggle those off.

Rather than starting a new thread on this one, I’m waking it up here. Is there any hope for getting the name flags turnoffable? I have never found them useful and all they do is detract from the rest of information on the screen. With all of the new features on the screen these make things even worse for information management. Please fix this…

Thanks for the bump - I was just ranting about this on the new expansion. In a pack there are so many name banners that you can’t see upcoming escalators or banners until they are real close and you can’t see if someone is jumping out the front of the group. I just want to menu feature to turn off name flags. I don’t find them anything but in the way.

name tags and even power up icons can really block the view especially at key points in races when you need to be able to see what is happeneing up the road or who is attacking.
There is zero need or use for these name tags!

6 year old thread. How has this not been implemented? I would take this feature over the last 30 things Zwift has implemented.

I agree, why is not done yet? I just started using Pace Partners and just started racing (Zwift Insider Tiny Races). I find that these floating name labels breaks the immersion and makes racing unnecessarily more difficult (other than my weak diesel engine).

The avatar tags in the Festive 500 ride this morning were an especially annoying distraction. Come on Zwift…

It’s getting ridiculous with the size of the pace bot groups now
