Here is a question that we got from a reader:
I have been trying to change one of my teams’ avatar on Microsoft Teams. But for some reason, it seems that the option to upload and save picture is disabled. It is showing this issue for 2 weeks now. Do i need special permissions to modify Teams icons. If yes, can you provide me a solution for that?
Thanks for your question. In this post we will discuss about the issue and how we can set channel and teams icons.
