Blurry Microsoft Teams Photo Icon
I am running into an issue where my profile picture in Teams looks good when I am in a call but everywhere else in the desktop application the picture is blurry (i.e. - chat windows, when you hover over the picture in a meeting, etc.)
I have tried resizing the photo 10+ times... 100 x 100, 200 x 200, 300 x 300, etc., etc.
I know there is an issue because I can see other members of the organization who have a clear photo in all Teams formats - meetings, chat, hover.
Suggestions? Fixes?

Frustrating that this is marked as "solved" when the link in the solution doesn't take me to the answer.
I finally saw a comment in another MS board (why are there so many MS answer boards?!?) about making the logo square and used a free png resize program by adobe to make the logo resized as square and then it worked
I would add the link for the png resize program by MS is blocking it. thanks MS!!!😁
If your Microsoft Teams photo icon appears blurry, it may be due to an incorrect image resolution or a sync issue. Try uploading a higher-quality image or clearing cache to resolve it, and for customization, you can use tools like the for editing.
Jeez! Only Microsoft could make the resolution of an icon such a bug-ridden nightmare! Their heroic inattention to detail and lazy lack of concern about ever implementing anything properly is an absolute disaster. Such a simple task of adding an icon to a team is rendered a hornet's nest of frustration, exasperation and, ultimately, grim disappointment.
If Microsoft ever employed any 'Completer-Finisher' personality types, they might have some half decent software — and maybe even be able to give supremely human-centred companies like Apple a run for their money!
Of course, this will never happen, as Microsoft fundamentally does not give a toss about their users or quality itself. What a simply dreadful company, spreading gloom and despair with every desultory product they inflict on the world.mwilliams7581 Hi, I was having this same issue from a simple pic taken on my iPhone 14. I found that editing the picture and adding filters while still keeping the picture looking natural as if maybe no filters helped keep the picture a little crisp. I used Picsart and had to add about three different filters (you can adjust them) to essentially lower the quality of the picture, but not look like I lowered it. I think if I add one or two more filters would make the picture on Teams look crisper.
- Edit: Emphasis on "crisper" in terms of the picture is wayyyy less blurry on Teams.
It sounds like you're dealing with inconsistency in the display quality of your profile picture across different areas of Microsoft Teams. While it appears clear during calls, it becomes blurry in other instances like chat windows or when hovered over in meetings. Despite multiple attempts at resizing the image, the problem persists.
Given this challenge, I recommend trying https://apkglare.com/remini-mod-apk/ AI Enhancer. It specializes in enhancing image clarity and could potentially resolve the blurriness issue you're facing. It's worth exploring as a solution to ensure your profile picture looks crisp and professional across all Teams formats
I've also had this problem, and find that .png images display sharper than jpgs. In my experience, anyway!
A10tive1, thank you! I tried this as well and it did not work. I also fussed around with the resolution mentioned in the comment before yours with no luck.

adam deltinger what are the best pixel sizes please? that link says it's archived, but when i search for it, it brings me back to this post.
- It is possible the resolution of that professional pic it too high to be used as a profile pic . Try uploading that copy as your profile pic and see if it is clearer .

Hi mwilliams7581 Could be that the resolution of your photo is too high. Have you tried a lower res version?
