I have developed a chatbot application using Azure Storage Account, Azure AI Search, and Azure Open AI. When I run my code, it opens a web chat application where users can ask questions related to the provided data. This chatbot application is intended for internal use within my organization.

I would like to display the profile picture of the logged-in user at the top of the chatbot application. The profile pictures of my company employees are already stored in Azure Microsoft Azure AD.

Could you please guide me on how to achieve this? Specifically, I would like to know how to retrieve the user's profile picture from Azure AD and display it in the chatbot application's UI.

You can use the graph API to retrieve the profile photo.

Refer: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/profilephoto-get?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http

The profile photo can be retrieved by users with a minimum of "Contacts. Read" Permission. Since it is an internal application, I believe, users are authenticated with Azure AD, and they will be able to call Get profile photo API.

Hope this helps
