Hi @Wendy Wang,

Thanks for reaching out.

Using the MS Graph API: GET /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/photo/$value you can get the photo of other user. Please refer the link for more details: Get profile Photo.

Refer the link to know about the permission required to execute this Graph API endpoints.

Please note:

·       Metadata operation is not supported for personal Microsoft accounts.

·       There is currently a known issue with accessing group photos using application permissions.

·       Retrieving a user's photo using the Microsoft Graph API is currently not supported in Azure AD B2C tenants.

Hope this helps.

Hi Wendy Wang , Since the Graph API endpoint currently only supports obtaining photos by userid or userPrincipalName, unless the user's email address is the same as userPrincipalName. Hope to help you. Best Wishes.
