How do I add my photo to my account in Outlook 2010?
I've seen other users have their own picture in Outlook 2010. How do I add this to my account? I don't see anything in Options/Settings. I've been able to do this in Lync, but not in Outlook.
Per the TechNet blogs, here is an easy way to add the picture:
To add a picture (if your organization supports it), click on your name in an e-mail addressed to you. This is the fastest way to open your Contact preview. Click Open Contact to display your full contact information. Now double-click the generic picture icon:
You'll be prompted to locate the picture you want to use. Find something appropriate for work, ideally a recent close up of your face. Then click Save & Close and you're done.

I wasn't able to double click as described above:
To add a picture (if your organization supports it), click on your name in an e-mail addressed to you. This is the fastest way to open your Contact preview. Click Open Contact to display your full contact information. Now double-click the generic picture icon:
What I did instead was to got to
- Contacts (folder below Mail and Calendar folders)
- Add myself as a contact.
In the processing of adding myself as a contact, I was able to upload my picture.
This depends on exchange version actually. 2007 doesn't have any normal graphical way to add the picture, so it has to be done via powershell. If it's 2010 there's a way to add via GUI. So: Which version of exchange are we talking about?
