To set your profile photo in Outlook you will need a photo in one of the following formats;

  • jpg
  • png
  • gif
  • bmp
  • tif

In the Outlook application click on File to see your account information, then click the change link (this is under the profile photo).

""

After you have clicked change;

  • You may be prompted to sign into Microsoft 365. Click the pencil icon after you sign in, then select Upload Photo to select your photo
  • You may be prompted to sign into the Outlook Web App. Click the Browse button after you sign in to select your photo

Once you have set your photo it can take up to 48 hours for your new photo to appear.

I'm having problems changing my profile picture, what should I do?

If you don't have the change option available it may be due to how the information is collected from the system;
