Changing Profile Picture Back to Default

Anonymous

Hello,

Can someone tell me how to reset my profile photo back to the default of my initials? It shows me how to change a photo but not delete the one I have and go back to having no photo (the default initials).

Thanks.

Hello Marina,

Greetings.

For any Office 365 for Business accounts users, their admin can help them to remove the uploaded photo via the PowerShell command: Remove-UserPhoto, and after running that command successfully, they will see the initial photo.

So in your case, please involve your admin to help you do it, for your admin reference:

Connect to Exchange online
Get-UserPhoto -Identity "<identity>"
Remove-UserPhoto -Identity "<identity>"

Thanks for your time and hope it helps.

Please do take care.

Regards,

Rudy

Hi

I figured out a simple method:

If you have microsoft teams installed on your pc, link that to your outlook account.
Click on your profile picture and navigate to the change picture option.
Once opened click on the remove picture option and... its done.

This should change your outlook account profile picture as well.

* One thing this feature is only available on the desktop teams app version.

Have a great day!!
