People Webpart doesn't show the pictures

Hello guys,

 

I want to ask you something, I have a SharePoint site integrated with my 365 platform. In the site I use the Webpart People to add new hires, I mean, it's like a  Welcome aboard..

 

In the user profile in 365 platform, I add the user's picture but in the WebPart the picture is not shown.

 

There seems to be a synchronization problem.

 

Do you have any idea how to solve it?

 

Thanks in advance, 

365
SharePoint Online

    I just looked into this yesterday for the same reason.  Here's a link to info on the User Profile sync process.
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/user-profile-sync 

     

    What gets synced right away is limited for SharePoint (unlike other things like Teams).  The Picture field does not get synced right away.  It happens on a later, irregular sync that happens.

    I did find a couple of links to PowerShell scripts to force a User Profile update for that field.

    It would be nice if they would fix this...
