Where your picture will appear

At Indiana University, when you add your picture using either the One.IU Manage Outlook Picture app, the IU Outlook Web App (OWA), or your SharePoint My Site profile, it is automatically copied to the IU Active Directory, which makes it visible in other applications that use Active Directory Services (ADS). Do not consider this list comprehensive; Microsoft could integrate pictures stored in ADS into other applications at any time:

  • Outlook: In Outlook, your picture will appear on the header section of email messages you send to users of the IU Exchange email system.
  • Skype for Business: In Skype for Business, your photo will be displayed by default when your name appears in the results of an address book search, but you can configure the application to not show your picture.
  • After you modify your picture, it may take up to 24 hours for the changes to appear in all applications.
  • You may need to sign out of and back into Microsoft Teams in order to see the change in your picture. Other users may not see your new picture until they sign out of and back into Microsoft Teams, as well.

Unfortunately, during the migration to NDUS Microsoft accounts, your Outlook mail and Skype photo profile were lost. Here's an easy way to re-upload it so others can see your photo when communicating with you.
