Adding or Changing Your Profile Picture

Updated

Who this is for: All College users. Your Microsoft 365 profile picture appears across Teams, Outlook, and Moodle.

Time: About two minutes. You set your picture once, in your Microsoft account. It then flows to every connected service, including Moodle. You do not set it separately in Moodle

Before You Begin

  • Have your image ready on your device.
  • Supported formats: JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP, or TIF.
  • Maximum size: 4 MB.
  • A square image works best, since the picture displays inside a circle.

Change Your Picture in Your Microsoft Account

This is the fewest steps and does not change when apps are updated.

  1. Go to myaccount.microsoft.com and sign in with your Wooster account.
  2. Select your current profile photo or initials in the center of the page.
The landing page for myaccount.microsoft.com with the profile picture shown outlined in the center and an arrow pointing to it.
The Change photo dialog with Upload picture at bottom center.
  1. Select Upload, choose your image, then select Save.
The Change photo dialog with an uploaded picture shown and the option to save marked with an arrow at the bottom.

Where Your Picture Appears

The picture updates across Microsoft 365 and appears in the places below. It may take time to appear everywhere, and Moodle updates at your next login.

  • Teams: profile circle, upper right
  • Outlook on the web: profile circle, upper right
  • Outlook email: next to your name on messages you send
  • Moodle: profile menu, upper right

If it does not appear after a while, sign out and back in, then allow more time before re-uploading.
