Does your Microsoft Teams profile team picture best represent your organization? It may not be on the top of your list to rack your brains on what appears as your team profile photo, icon, or logo. But, such an image offers identification of your team as a whole.
Not only will your Microsoft Teams collaboration look professional, but it also creates a sense of camaraderie and teamwork. It may also encourage and inspire your team members.
Changing the team or channel picture on Microsoft Teams takes only a few steps. But, keep in mind that only team owners can change the team logo. Team members may suggest what they want as an image. You can even make it a challenge as to who can give the best suggestion. But, team members can only view but not make any changes to the team picture settings.
Unfortunately, some team owners complained that they cannot change or save the image through the Microsoft Teams app or website. Sometimes, this error message appears even if their MS Teams account is already an old one:
“We’re still setting up your team, you can change your picture when we’re done.”
Other users see this common error message:
“There was a problem saving the photo. Please try again.”
Note that the problem can be due to several factors. To resolve the issue, check out the solutions below.
