Microsoft 365 Photos for Teams, SharePoint, and Outlook
If you configure Microsoft Entra Connect (formerly Azure Active Directory Connect) to replicate your on-premises Active Directory to the Microsoft Entra Id directory, Entra Connect will replicate the user’s local Active Directory photo to Entra Id. There are a couple of caveats to this feature; Entra Connect replicates this attribute infrequently. Even if it is changed. Further, the photo size is limited to 10K which essentially gives you about a 128x128 photo.
When a high resolution photo is uploaded to Exchange Online for use by Outlook, it is then replicated to other Microsoft 365 workloads such as SharePoint, Teams, and Delve.
Ithicos Solutions Directory Update and Directory Manager products include a photo upload feature that uploads a low resolution photo to your on-premises Active Directory as well as a high resolution (up to 640x640) to Exchange Online. Directory Update allows users to upload their own photo while Directory Manager allows authorized to upload photos for all users.
