Hyperfish utilises the Azure Face API so if the administrator has chosen to not enabled the “Allow no faces” (as seen in the previous screenshot) and a user uploads a picture of their dog they will be politely declined: While it may appear dangerous to put this into the hands of end users, Hyperfish provides administrators with a number of key controls around the quality and appropriateness of picture: Over the years there have been a number of scripts and apps written to work around the challenges of thumbnail pictures and hi-res pictures, but these are more for administrators to use and are not always effective – especially when a user updates the picture themselves in one location but not another.Įnter Hyperfish – an end-user driven solution for ensuring that Office 365 has the right quality & sized picture in all relevant locations. As a thumbnail in Outlook or Delve this is ok, but when doing a Skype for Business call without video the profile picture gets stretched out and looks pixelated: This picture then flows through to all other features of Office 365.

The frustration many admins experience is that they may have set up a great system for new employees to have their picture stored in the on-premises Active Directory with a decent resolution, but when it is synchronised to Azure Active Directory for Office 365 the file is crunched down to the 10kb limit.
