Embed User Photo in SharePoint Rich Text Field
As far as I know, you can't do what you are trying to do from PowerApps.
However, a ton of experts sit in another Microsoft forum dedicated towards PowerApps/Flow.
https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/PowerApps-Community/ct-p/PowerApps1
Maybe check if the experts there have any other ideas? If you figure it out, I'd be interested in a solution but it's my belief that it's a product limitation at this time.
Cheers and best wishes

Damien_Rosario thanks for the follow up. I'll check out the other forum, but I think I agree with your assessment that this may just be a product limitation.
For anyone interested, you can only embed pictures if you point the src attribute to an actual location rather doing trying to embed the base64 image. In my case, I was able to point to the user's photo by using the following in my Patch call.
"<img src=""https://outlook.office365.com/owa/service.svc/s/GetPersonaPhoto?email=" & User().Email & "&UA=0&size=HR48x48" />"
For the "HR48x48" part, you can use 48, 96 or just leave it out. Those are the only options I got to work.
