Skype on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Skype for Windows 10 (version 14) From Chats, select your profile picture. Select your profile picture again to upload a photo, view your photo, or remove it. Mac Users: Skype for Business (Lync) pictures can only be set up using the Skype for Business client in Windows. Once you have used Skype for Business for Windows to place a profile picture in your account, you will be able to access it using Lync for Mac. NOTE: To change your picture you must have already have a personal picture on a public picture site, such as the Windows Live network of Internet services, Facebook, LinkedIn, Flickr, or (recommended) you must upload a picture to the Illinois Directory. Using your Illinois Directory profile picture in Skype for Business: 1. You will first need to upload your picture to the web and create a link to that picture. There are many ways to do this using different sites on the internet, but one recommended way to do this is through the illinois.edu directory. First, go to. Then search for yourself using the search box. NOTE: To change your picture, you must follow this whole process again. Using the iMark as your profile picture If you would like to have an image available in Lync or Skype for Business but don't want to use a personal picture, you can use the iMark as your profile picture. See the instructions at Using a Facebook or LinkedIn picture as your profile picture (Reproduced from the University of Kentucky with their permission.) 1. Login to Facebook or Linkedin and navigate to the folder where the picture you want to use is located. Do NOT use the address at the top of the page because it will not be correct. Make sure that the album is publicly available by selecting Everyone, Public or the equivalent on the site you are using. Right-click the picture and then click Properties. In the Properties dialog box, right-click the Address ( URL) text box and select the entire address. Be sure to capture the ENTIRE address because only the first two lines are visible in the text box. You must select until you see the file extension.jpg at the end of the address! Right-click the selected text, click Copy and then click Ok. In your Lync or Skype for Business account box click the blank face area to bring up the Picture Options menu. Click the Show a picture from a web address radio button and paste in your copied address, then click the Connect to Picture button and your photo should then show up as below. Click the OK button and you are done. Please Note: There are two pitfalls you should be aware of: 1. If you change your profile picture on Linkedin or Facebook, it will NOT automatically change here (because you are linking directly to the selected picture.) You will have to go back and select the new profile picture if you want it to show up for Lync. ![]() If you delete the profile picture on Linkedin or Facebook it will no longer show up on Lync or Skype for Business.

It is set in Facebook's Account Settings under the Username section. If you don't know your username or would prefer not to use a username, go to Method 2. • In your Lync or Skype for Business account box click the blank face area (or from the menu select Tools, Options, My Picture) to bring up the Picture Options menu. • Click the Show a picture from a web address radio button and manually enter the following URL: Where facebookusername is the username you verified in step 1. • Then click the Connect to Picture button and your photo should then show up as below. • Click the OK button to save your changes. Method 2 - Use Facebook User ID Number • Locate your Facebook User ID number. You can either use Facebook's ' whatsmyid' applet, or determine your User ID. • In your Lync or Skype for Business account box click the blank face area (or from the menu select Tools, Options, My Picture) to bring up the Picture Options menu. • Click the Show a picture from a web address radio button and manually enter the following URL: Where facebookuserid is the user ID number you verified in step 1. ![]() • Then click the Connect to Picture button and your photo should then show up as below. • Click the OK button to save your changes. Any changes to your Facebook profile picture will be updated the next time you sign-in to your Lync or Skype for Business client.
