Update the photo for the signed-in user, or the specified group or contact. Since there is currently a limit of 4MB on the total size of each REST request, this limits the size of the photo you can add to under 4MB.

You can use either PATCH or PUT for this operation in version 1.0.

Note This operation in version 1.0 supports only a user's work or school mailboxes and not personal mailboxes.

Permissions

One of the following permissions is required to call this API. To learn more, including how to choose permissions, see Permissions.

• Profile photo of the signed-in user - User.ReadWrite, User.ReadWrite.All
• Profile photo of a group - Group.ReadWrite.All
• Photo of a contact - Contacts.ReadWrite

Note To update the photo of any user in the organization, your app must have the User.ReadWrite.All application permission and call this API under its own identity, not on behalf of a user. To learn more, see get access without a signed-in user.

Note: There is currently a known issue with accessing group photos using application permissions.
