I would also be interested in this functionality

On Yammer : No API or easy way to make this

On Office365 : Yes, there is API to update end user profile

 

I am advicing you to focus on Office365 / User Profile, in the background, Yammer Team are working to sync Office365 user photo => Yammer user photo. Don't expect something perfect at the beginning, but I believe this is the right way to focus. 

 

At given stage, the Yammer User Profiel should fully disapear to be replace by Office365 one, by waiting this, the 2 user profile running in // and more we are progressing more O365 User Profile Metadata => are sync => Yammer User Profile.

Hi Eric,

Thanks for your responce, It helps a lot.

 

Is there any timeline when O365 sync photo to Yammer.

 

Also, do you have the API details for the O365 photo update.

 

Thanks

Hi o/

 

mid-August 2016, @Angus Florance said 

 

User profile picture sync from Office 365 to Yammer:
Yammer will sync Office 365 profile pictures for users that do not currently have a Yammer picture set for their profile at login. Read more about managing Yammer users across their life cycle from Office 365.

We are using Azure AD Connect to sync AD profiles. Thumbnail pictures are flowing into Azure AD but not into Yammer when the user first logs on. Additionally changing a user's Delve or o365 picture does not update Yammer. Anybody else seeing this?

As noted in @Eric JENOUVRIER's post above, the replication from O365 into Yammer only operates if a picture has never been configured for the Yammer user.  It does not overwrite / update an existing Yammer user.  This allows people, if they choose, to have a picture for their Yammer profile different from their Office 365 picture.

 

Also, when a person first logs on is when the account actually completes the creation / provision process.  So the picture should be available shortly thereafter (next log on or next day).
