In my IU SharePoint My Site profile, how do I add or remove my picture?

At Indiana University, you can add a picture of yourself to your SharePoint My Site profile.

Note: When you add a picture to your My Site profile, it is automatically copied to the IU Active Directory, which makes it visible in other applications that use the Active Directory Service (ADS), such as Exchange and Microsoft Lync. For this process to work properly, you must use Internet Explorer on Windows 7 or later. After you add your picture to your My Site, it can take up to 24 hours before it appears in other applications. For more, see If I add my picture to my SharePoint My Site profile, where else will it appear?

To add a picture of yourself to your My Site profile:

1. Log into your My Site, and then click My Profile.

   Note: If you don't have a My Site, you can create one; see At IU, what is a SharePoint My Site? If you are not eligible for a My Site, you can still add a picture to your SharePoint profile by visiting the following URL (where username is your Network ID username): https://my.sharepoint.iu.edu/Person.aspx?accountname=ads\username

2. Click Edit My Profile.
   
   
3. Click Choose Picture, and then click Browse to select an image from your computer.

   The image should be in JPEG format, smaller than 30 KB, and have a 1:1 aspect ratio that does not exceed 96x96 pixels.

4. Once you've selected the image you want, click OK.
   
   
5. At the bottom of the page, click Save and Close.

To remove your picture from your My Site profile:

1. Log into your My Site, and then click My Profile.
   
   
2. Click Edit My Profile.
   
   
3. Next to your picture, click Remove.
   
   
4. At the bottom of the page, click Save and Close.

Note: After you remove your picture from your My Site profile, it can take up to 24 hours before it is removed from other applications that use IU ADS (e.g., Exchange and Microsoft Lync).
