# Nametag Settings
Section - Nametags - explanation of various settings
## Settings found in the nametag section
1. Creating custom nametags. Visit the [Content Creation documentation for nametags](/stream-avatars/content-creating/creating-nametags.md).
2. The group of settings related to nametags.
3. Hide on stack height - if nametags collide with each other, one will be chosen to rise up. This setting determines how high the nametags can stack up before they go invisible / disappear. [Look at the image below for a visualize of this setting](#nametag-stack-height).
4. Set the percentage of the distance between each row. 0% makes all nametags overlap. 100% is the default spacing between nametag rows.
5. Fade out on hide - determines whether the nametag disappears over time or instantly turns invisible.
6. Hide on inactivity - if a user has not typed into chat for a while, their nametag will hide.
7. Inactivity timeout - how many seconds before a user's nametag becomes "inactive" and goes invisible.
8. Collides with avatars - nametags normally only collide with each other, but when this is enabled, nametags will also collide with the hitboxes of the avatars, causing them to stack higher.
9. Nametag Sorting - determines the graphical sorting order of nametags. Behind avatars, After avatars, or Foreground.
10. Maximum name length - determines the maximum length a user's name can display on a nametag. example: "clonzeh" is 7 characters long.
If you are interested in customizing your own nametags, please visit [this article](/stream-avatars/content-creating/creating-nametags.md) instead.

## Nametag stack height
In the image below, the nametag stack height is set to: 2. This means any nametags that rise to row #3 will become invisible / disappear until they move to a space where it can fall back to the stack height limit.
## Adjusting Nametag height position on an avatar
If your avatar has a nametag in an undesirable position, you can adjust the avatar's collision box by doing the following:
Navigate to Avatar and Gear > select your avatar > click "Collision Box"
Here you can adjust the horizontal and vertical position of the nametag by click-dragging the handles on the red box outline.
