They are more commonly remembered as the King's Men.
The Lord Chamberlain's men changed their name because they gained the patronage of the reigning monarch King James I thus becoming The King's Men.
They did not. They were formed as the Lord Chamberlain's Men in 1594. Their name changed to the King's Men (they did not have any choice in their name) when the King became their patron nine years later in 1603.
Queen Elizabeth I supported the Chamberlains Men acting company, and King James I supported the Kings Men acting company.
Lord Chamberlains men

They were a theatre company. They put on plays.
Lord Chamberlains Men
He joined the Lord Chamberlains men which later changed their name to the Kings Men.
From 1594 on, Shakespeare performed with and wrote for the Lord Chamberlain's Men who in 1603 became the King's Men. Prior to 1594, he may have worked with one or more of the half dozen or so licensced companies: Pembroke's Men, Derby's Men, Strange's Men, or Queen Elizabeth's Men.
The acting company to which Shakespeare belonged for most of his working life was called The Lord Chamberlain's Men from 1594-1603, and The King's Men after that. Shakespeare was not the troupe's leader, but rather a partner.
It didn't. The Lord Chamberlain's Men was not a theatre. It was a company of actors and other men who put on plays. They were formed in 1594. They took their name from their patron--by law, acting companies of this kind had to have a patron--who was the Lord Chamberlain. In 1603, they got a new patron and a new name, although it was still the same group of actors. Their new patron was King James I, and so their new name was The King's Men. There never was such a thing as the King's Men Theatre.
