Solution 1Recommended

Upload Photos Using InPrivate or Incognito Mode

Bypassing your browser cache using an incognito window can resolve upload errors caused by corrupted temporary files or browser extensions.

Browser cache conflicts or third-party extensions often interfere with script execution on Microsoft 365 web apps. Using an InPrivate or Incognito window runs the browser without loaded cache or extensions, providing a clean environment to upload your files.

1
Open a Private Browsing Window

Launch your web browser and open a new InPrivate window (if using Microsoft Edge) or Incognito window (if using Google Chrome).

2
Log into Viva Engage

Navigate to the Viva Engage web portal and log in with your Microsoft 365 account credentials.

3
Retry the Photo Upload

Go to the All Company community page and attempt to upload your cover photo or profile photo again.

Upload Photos Using InPrivate or Incognito Mode
Check Extensions: If the upload works in Incognito mode, consider clearing your regular browser cache and disabling ad-blockers or privacy extensions on Viva Engage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What image formats are supported for Viva Engage cover photos?

Viva Engage typically supports standard image formats like JPEG, PNG, and GIF. Ensure your image file is not corrupted and uses one of these standard extensions rather than modern web formats like WEBP.

Why do my Viva Engage photos keep disappearing after upload?

This usually happens due to browser cache conflicts, network timeouts, or server-side synchronization delays in Microsoft 365. Trying an InPrivate or Incognito window helps rule out local cache or extension interference.

What are HAR logs and why does Microsoft Support need them?

HAR (HTTP Archive) logs record all network requests made by your web browser. Microsoft Support uses these logs to pinpoint exactly where the photo upload request is failing on the network or server level.
