Hi Diego,

 

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

    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.

      I also used that setting last year and it still allows them to change it.  I opened a ticket with MS support and they admitted that it couldn't be locked down but they were looking into a solution.  That was about 7 months ago now.  I never heard anything else from them.
