How can we make Microsoft Teams better?

Block change picture

In Skype for Business we were able to prevent users from uploading pictures for their avatar. This was done from a PowerShell script that modified the OWA policy. We should have the same option with Teams. Hopefully in UI instead of PS.

    Please allow a feature to simply block the ability to change pictures in Teams. This should be a no brainer.

    Please fix this. This is a breach in compliance. The identity of the user is an important part of internal security.

    Not even under review or looked at by MS. This should have been in the original release. The fact that you can get around restrictions set by your admin for exchange and all other by simply using the teams app is unacceptable. Please give us admins the control over the accounts we need. The C-Suite looks at us to enforce the photos policy and the answer "Microsoft wont fix it" is not a acceptable answer to them and neither is "disable Teams app for our users". The like the app but hate this issue.

    It boggles the mind that Microsoft will put a product out there that circumvents security controls on our directory data and call it working as designed.

    Teams needs to abide by the security placed on the photos just like every other application.

    Please resolve this ASAP. Users are changing photos even we have restricted by OWA mailbox policy.

    We have disabled user changing of photos through OWA because we have an HR policy that requires profile photos to be approved and synced from our HR system. Now Teams provides them a way to circumvent that policy and inappropriate photos are slipping in.

    Teams needs to use the photo policy set by the administrator and use the photo from the mailbox for the user.

    I've blocked users from changing photos using the two methods (policy and PS), Teams bypasses this. I'm having to run a script to replace the photos with correct ones daily at the moment and my PS command limit is being reached and I'm getting micropauses or whatever they're called. Please bump this is the to do list.

    Yes agreed - OWAMailbox policy can be bypassed by changing your teams picture. Please provide a method to prevent this.
