Display People images on the iSchool SharePoint Intranet

Posted on by • Posted in Microsoft 365 • Tagged , , , , , , •

Sometimes when you browse to one of the “People” links on the iSchool SharePoint Intranet all the image links are broken like this.

The reason for this is our Intranet and your Office 365 Profile (where your picture and bio live) are on different servers and you need to authenticate to both.

The easiest way to do this is to right click any of the broken images and select Open image in new tab. Once you see the picture (or the generic buddy icon in the case of a person who has not uploaded a picture to their Office 365 Profile) you can refresh the SharePoint page and you will see all the pictures.

SharePoint has many social features. Ever since the iSchool decided to adopt SharePoint as our collaboration tool we decided to make our Intranet as personable as possible to facilitate said collaboration.

As iSchool Staff, here is what we would like you to do.

1) Browse to here:

https://portal.office.com/Home

and log in.

2) Click on the picture (or buddy icon if there is no picture) in the top, right corner.

3) Click the “About me” link.

4) Upload a picture of yourself (you can use your iSchool staff picture if you like).

5) Optionally, you can also edit your Profile to add additional information.

Being able to put a face to a name goes a long way toward achieving the goal of making our Intranet more personable. Your picture, and any information you add to your Profile and make viewable by everyone, will be displayed under the “People” links on our Intranet.
