Why manage users' photos centrally

Both Office 365 (Microsoft 365) and on-premises Exchange Server enable the option to include users’ profile photos in a number of places. Outlook, Teams, OWA (Outlook on the web), SharePoint, Skype for Business, OneDrive, Planner, Microsoft 365 Groups – all those services can show pictures of employees.

You might be wondering, what is the use for that. Here are some of the reasons to use profile pictures in an organization:

It makes collaboration easier by creating a more friendly atmosphere,
Enhances teamwork by letting employees identify their co-workers much quicker,
Resolves the problem when you cannot associate a name with a face (especially true for bigger companies),
Helps you build a professional visual identity inside and outside of the company.

Here are some examples of where users' profile pictures can be seen:

You can also see the images of your users in Office 365 (Microsoft 365) groups.

The same pictures can be displayed in Outlook on the web.

The problem is, managing users’ photos in an organization may become a bit of a challenge. Uploading users’ profile pictures to Active Directory, or to your Microsoft 365 tenant is not as easy as you might think.

Users can upload their photos to Microsoft Teams, Outlook or Office 365 (Microsoft 365) profile on their own. However, in this case, administrators do not have much control over the quality and the size of the picture. What is more, the users’ image will not be unified throughout the organization, especially when some users forget to upload their own picture, or upload a funny photo, which will later be seen inside and outside the organization. As a result, the admin will have to intervene anyway. The right solution is to manage users' photos from a single place, right from the start and to prevent users from changing their profile photos. One person can verify whether a unified image is ensured throughout the organization and the administrator uploads them to the server so that they can be visible in all the places listed below:

Uploading photos using PowerShell

Both in Exchange Server and Microsoft 365 (Office 365), you can roll up your admin’s sleeves and use the Set-UserPhoto cmdlet which uploads your user’s photo. Look below to see the syntax of this command:

Set-UserPhoto 'John Example' -PictureData ([System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes( 'C:John.Example.jpg' )) –Confirm:$false

The cmdlet uploads the photo of John Example to the respective account and the –confirm:$false switch shortens the process slightly, as PowerShell will not prompt you to confirm the new image setting.

No big deal. Just remember to prepare the photo in a graphics editor, so that it has the correct size. Now repeat the steps for your whole organization. You can also use a script - ForEach-Object loop should get the job done. Just remember that you have to prepare a list of all users in CSV format, adjust all the pictures and format their names right so that the script uploads the avatars to the right users. You will surely have something to keep you busy, right? There is another way, though:

Bulk upload using a convenient GUI
