🚀 Display User Images in Power Apps: Dynamic Gallery with Fallback Options

In this video, we’re diving into a practical Power Apps challenge that I’m excited to tackle with you. We’ll be creating a dynamic gallery that displays user profile pictures based on their email addresses using the Office 365 Users connector. But here’s the twist—if a user doesn’t exist or doesn’t have a profile picture, we’ll seamlessly show a generic fallback image to ensure the gallery always looks polished and complete.

In this tutorial, I’ll guide you through the entire process, from connecting to Office 365 Users to handling missing images with conditional logic. Whether you're building an internal company app or improving user profile displays, this video will give you the tools to dynamically manage images and ensure a smooth user experience.

🔑 What You’ll Learn:
Connecting to Office 365 Users in Power Apps
Creating a user image gallery and retrieving images dynamically
Using the UserPhotoV2 and UserPhotoMetadata functions to check for profile pictures
Implementing a generic image as a fallback for users without profile pictures
-Handling errors gracefully to ensure a smooth app experience
