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
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
- Sign in to Office 365 with your work or school account at spartan365.msu.edu (link).
- 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.
- In the Delve window this opens up, select the camera icon above your name
- Select Upload a new photo
- Browse to the image file you want to use for your new profile picture
- Select the file to highlight it and then select Open
- You will see a preview of what your profile picture will look like. You can use the slider under the picture to zoom in and out, effectively cropping the photo to what you want.
- Select Apply once you're happy with the preview.
- You're done! You have successfully changed your profile picture.
