Spartan 365 - How To Change Your Profile Picture

Tags how-to public

Objective

By following these steps, you can add or change your profile photo in Spartan 365, which is MSU's licensed version of Office 365. Your photo will appear everywhere there's a profile photo circle in Spartan 365.

Environment

  • Spartan 365

Before You Begin

  • You will need your MSU NetID password. See KB 1085 (link) for instructions to reset this password, if needed.
  • You will also need access to a saved version of the photo you wish to use as your profile picture. If it is located on a network drive, make sure you can access that location during this process.
    • The photo must be smaller than 4 MB and be a .png, jpg, or .gif file.
  • If you or your IT administrator have already added a profile photo, it will appear in the circle. You can keep that photo, or follow the instructions to change it.

Steps

  1. Sign in to Office 365 with your work or school account at spartan365.msu.edu (link).
  2. Select the circle in the upper-right corner of the page that contains your initials, the icon of a person, or an existing picture. Select My Office profile from the menu that pops up.
    • You may need to wait a bit after logging in for this option to be available when you select the circle.
    • If nothing happens when you select it, wait for the gear and "?" icons to appear next to the circle and try again.
