Update your profile photo in Microsoft 365

Bobcats can make the best impression by adding a profile picture to their Microsoft 365 account. The photo will display in Outlook, Teams, and throughout other Microsoft 365 apps and tools. It is important to note that you should only upload photos that display your likeness and are professional in nature.

Which picture should I choose?

No doubt that your selfie game is strong, but there is a method for choosing a picture that will leave the best impression.

Some tips to choosing which kind of photo to upload include:

  • Using a square picture that clearly shows your face.
  • Making sure your picture has a relatively plain background to allow others to see your image clearly.
  • Keep in mind that your profile will be displayed at 95×95 pixels, so a close up of your face will work best.
