In Office 365 email, everyone has a default icon with their initials inside a circle. The icon is so boring that it makes you want to add a photo. However, nobody changes their icon. Everyone keeps the default icon. To use your photo makes you seem rather narcissistic. “Here’s a photo of me!”
I have a desire to personalize my icon. To be more subtle, Iย slightly customized my default icon with my initials MM. Since the Cubs recently won the World series for the first time in 108 years, I made mine Cubs-themed.
I took a screenshot of my default icon, and then added the World Series trophy and the letter C.
Hahahaha. I hope people are like, whatthe?!
How to change your user icon in Outlook 365:
- Go to: portal.office.com/account/#personalinfo
- Click “Change photo” on your icon.
- Have fun!
It’s so weird how Office 365 flips the initials around. So yours would appear as MB. Makes me glad I have the same first and last initial. MM either way!
Any idea how to change it back to the boring, two-initial, colored circle? I changed mine to a smiley face image in the circle, but now need to change it back and can’t find a way to do so! If I click, “upload a new photo,” there is no option to delete the image and go back to a circle. HELP!
