User Pronouns

What's the best way to capture a user's pronouns and present them in their Microsoft profile?

Azure Active Directory (AAD)

Identity Management

Updating best response now that Microsoft rolled out the feature -
Turn pronouns on or off for your organization in the Microsoft 365 admin center - Microsoft 365 admin | Microsoft Learn

You can use one of the Custom Attributes for this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/add-properties-profilecard#adding-custom-attributes

And check out Merill's code in GitHub: https://github.com/merill/m365-gender-pronoun-kit/blob/main/README.md

Awesome, thanks Sonia! I hope that Microsoft adopts this as a standard attribute.

  Does anyone know if support for display of pronouns in Microsoft Teams is on Microsoft's roadmap? Slack just recently added this feature.
  
  Or if we went the custom attribute route, would that be able to display with Microsoft Teams profiles?

    cgreenmzr - I'm pretty sure Karuana_Gatimu_MSFT mentioned that this is coming soon at the M365 Conference in Vegas, but I can't find the Roadmap feature.
