Try with this one > Get-OwaMailboxPolicy | Set-OwaMailboxPolicy -SetPhotoURL $false
You'll disable the users the option to search and choose the photo they want to upload.
Of course, after apply the already known Get-OwaMailboxPolicy | Set-OwaMailboxPolicy -SetPhotoEnabled $false

    Hi Diego,

     

    Thanks for your answer. Could you please tell me more about the SetPhotoURL parameter?

    It seems it's a String type of value, not Boolean.

     

    Also, I'm note sure that this command will prevent users from uploading their photo in Teams.

        We set this long ago here and it's never prevented us from using Teams to change the photo. It does prevent changing the photo from other Office 365 apps.
