Microsoft Teams Profile Picture Initials

How I can change the Initials in my profile picture in Microsoft Teams?
Hi Mohit332,

I'm Nik, an independent advisor here to assist you with this.

Please try to update your profile picture from www.office.com. Click on your profile pic > My office profile > update profile > click on your pic and upload a new one
Also, refer to this link:
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msteams/for...

Please be advised that the profile pic changes may take up to 7 days to reflect across all Office 365 apps.

Please note that your profile picture is synced from the Exchange server. That said, Your IT administrator controls it, so If you see any issue with profile picture upload or sync, please contact your school IT help desk/office 365 administrator for more information.


Regards
Nik

Hi Mohit332,

I'm Nik, an independent advisor here to assist you with this.

By design, MS Teams picks the first letter of your First and last name. However, it is completely random if there are more than two names with the same initial.

Please be advised that If you have any change to your profile, it takes up to 7 days to reflect across the Team app.

Regards
Nik

According to what I interpret of your question, you want to change the profile name shown in Microsoft Teams.

To do this, click on the user icon located in the upper right corner and then on
Edit profile.

As a second option, I suggest changing the name on the Outlook account integrated with TEAMS.

If it is still not possible please inform, ok

Hi,

I have the same issue.

I have a work account with my first and second names starting with a J and H. However, my initials which appear where a profile picture would appear are JM !? These initials also appear when I edit shared documents with others.

What we are both asking I believe is 'How do we correct the initials?

Thanks
