Office 365 Profile picture not displayed inside SharePoint People Web Part on Modern Site Page
- Apr 24, 2018
This issue is fixed now for the customer. Using Microsoft Support, they were able to make required changes serverside which caused the issue for some Office 365 users. For some users specific users attributes were not set, for others they were according to Microsoft, although were not able to change these from our side. Microsoft changed things serverside to handle this. After a serverside sync update, the Office 365 profile pictures also started to display for each user inside the SharePoint People web part on Modern Site Pages.
Hi Everyone - For the user who's photo is missing in the People Web Part, has that user attempted to browse to SharePoint or OneDrive? If they select the SharePoint or OneDrive tile from the Office 365 portal: https://www.office.com/?auth=2&home=1 this should kick off the photo sync. There will be a wait period of up to 24 hours (or something), but worth a shot. Also, if you start the process of opening a support request by typing 'sharePoint Online not showing images in people Web part' or similar you should see this same proposed workaround as an article and/or a diagnostic asking for the user email for the user who's image is missing.
Let me know if either of these help.
Thanks,
Bryan
Bryan Petersen : we also have this issue for more than 1 year. I have asked a few users to open Delve and the SharePoint tile from 365 but I have my doubts this will work. Uploading a profile picture in the Admin Tenant works, I tested this today but this is not something I can do for a lot of users. In any case I know now that a Microsoft Ticket will do the trick in case this does not work. Many thanks for everybody's feedback. It helped me a lot!
