How do i HIDE all enemy token's names? continued

I have tried all combinations to hide the nameplate from the players listed in the old post of the same name. None of them hide it from the players and allows the GM to see it? Can someone provide a screenshot of the exact settings, please? I just cannot see what I might be doing wrong. Thanks!
In the token settings, having the nameplate box checked turns the nameplate on. Then at the top of the settings menu, above where you select the controlling character sheet and controlling players is a "three dot" menu. On that menu, select "Edit" to allow editing the token by the controlling player and select "See" to allow all players to see the nameplate. Turning "See" off turns off nameplate visibility for the players.

Additionally, you can test to verify what players see by use of a  Dummy Account .
Hi - thanks for the quick response. Setting everything according to Rick A.'s suggested settings and 'rejoining as player' still shows the name. Seems like this is a bug that maybe could be duplicated. Creating the dummy account worked - the nameplate does not show. Thanks for the help, Mike

The behavior likely stems from specifically listing yourself as a controller of the creature in question. You might still see the name nameplate if it were listed as "Edit" in the popup settings.
I've found that "rejoining as player" isn't as useful as it sounds :). Even though it limits a lot of things to a player's perspective, it still allows you to see things that someone without GM privileges wouldn't, like items on the GM layer and hidden nameplates. Using a Dummy account is the only sure way to see what your players wills see. Mike B. said: Hi - thanks for the quick response.

I will be using a dummy account from here on, as that works well enough in a separate browser. Thanks for all the help.
