How to retrieve Player's display name when a player joined my lobby,How to retrieve Player's display name when players joined my lobby

Upon players joined my lobby, I am able to get their PFEntitykey id and type, in order to get their display name, I then call GetAccountInfo or GetPlayerProfile mentioned in other post, however, requesting both APIs would require player's playfabId, so how am I able to get their playfabId, or is there a work around to get display names?

Here is an example of what I am trying to do. Players are now displaying their first 4 digits of PFEntitykey ID, but instead, I'd like to display their names

You may write a cloud script and call GetProfile to get playfabid. You can refer to this Request body .

 {
     "Entity": {
     "Id": "xxxx",
     "Type": "title_player_account",
     "TypeString": "title_player_account" 
     }
 }

Then, call GetPlayerProfile to get displayname.
