How do I delete a users profile picture in Teams?

[cheaptonersucks]

A teacher has set an inappropriate profile picture and we can't see where to remove the picture in Teams. Sorry, bit of a newb with Teams!

Thanks

In Teams, logged on as them, click on their profile picture, change picture is the first option.

 

If you can't log on as them, change it through Exchange online. It takes time to propogate though all the services. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/information-about-profile-picture-synchronization-in-microsoft-365-20594d76-d054-4af4-a660-401133e3d48a

 

Teams clients sometimes cache data (like the org chart, photos and Job Titles) for several days, so changes may not always be seen immediately.

You can also disable users from changing their display photo, so it either uses what ever you have set in AD (assuming you have it configured to synchronise) or you can use PowerShell to set a "standard" picture for users.

 

The OWAMailbox policy for Exchange contains one of the settings to prevent users changing the display picture, and it seems that Teams actually pays attention to this at times.

 

The Powershell command

Get-OwaMailboxPolicy | FL name,setphotoenabled

will return any Mailbox policies you have and just show if the setPhotoEnabled is true or false.

Set-OwaMailboxPolicy OwaMailboxPolicy-Default -SetPhotoEnabled $false

can be used to turn the option off for the default mailbox policy, and that should propagate through to all users in due course.
