I suspect LW's anxiety wasn't the sort that would be settled by that; if I was looking for Latasha Jones, and I was on a video call with someone labelled Latasha Jones who didn't look like the Latasha Jones I expected, I would be nervous that I had called the wrong Latasha Jones. (No, adding a job title too wouldn't help, I would just be nervous that I had mixed up the job titles.)

I mean, the obvious way to fix this is to say "Hi, I am [X] and I had an meeting scheduled at [Z] with [Y], am I in the right place?" and let them tell you. We managed with that for centuries.
