How to Add User Photos to Office 365 Without PowerShell
Introduction
Organizations are increasingly moving to Office 365, and one of the most common tasks for administrators is to add user photos to Office 365. The photos are used in Outlook, SharePoint, Skype for Business, and other applications. The traditional way of doing this is to use PowerShell, but this can be a time-consuming process. Fortunately, there are ways to automatically add user photos to Office 365 without PowerShell.
Using a Third-Party Tool
Using a third-party tool is the most straightforward way to add user photos to Office 365. One such tool is CodeTwo Active Directory Photos, which is a free application that allows you to quickly and easily upload user photos from Active Directory to Office 365. The app allows you to select users from your domain, preview their photos, and upload them in bulk to Office 365.
Once the photos are uploaded, they will be synced with Outlook, SharePoint, and Skype for Business. The app also allows you to upload photos from other sources, such as image files or URLs.
Using Microsoft Graph API
Another way to add user photos to Office 365 is to use the Microsoft Graph API. The API provides a way to access and manipulate data in Office 365 in a secure and programmatic way. This allows you to automate the process of adding user photos to Office 365, which can save you time and effort.
To use the Graph API, you’ll need to register an application in Azure. After that, you can use the API to create a user profile, upload a photo, and then update the user profile with the photo.
Conclusion
Adding user photos to Office 365 can be a time-consuming task, but there are ways to automate the process without using PowerShell. The most straightforward way is to use a third-party tool such as CodeTwo Active Directory Photos. Alternatively, you can use the Microsoft Graph API to access and manipulate data in Office 365 and automate the process of adding user photos.
