Summary

The purpose of this article is to explain how to add your WMed Directory photo to your Outlook 365 (webmail) profile picture so that other WMed users are better able to distinguish who you are.  If you do this in webmail then your Teams profile picture will also be updated.

First, go to https://portal.wmed.edu/wmed-directory/, search for yourself, right-click on your photo, select "save image as.." and save your photo to a location you can quickly navigate to (like downloads).

Sign in to Microsoft 365 with your work or school account at https://webmail.med.wmich.edu.

Select the circle in the upper right hand corner of the page that shows your initials or an icon of a person.

Lastly, in the My accounts pane, click on the circle that shows your initials or an icon of a person. Change your photo in the pop-up that appears by clicking on "Upload a new photo" and select "Apply".

Note:  It may take a couple of hours for all of your Microsoft services to sync with your new profile picture and even up to 24 hours for your picture to be visible by others.
