### Twitter web part retirement

### News about SharePoint Home Site

- Users are able to set multiple home sites by using multiple Viva Connections experiences in the M365 admin center.
- It is possible to check and verify if you have access to the new Viva Connections admin center on the MAC. If so, you can refer to the Set up Viva Connections in the Microsoft 365 admin center for how to use the Viva Connections admin center

SharePoint

### User Profile Picture

If you had the habit of editing your user profile picture from Delve by clicking on "How can I add additional information" (for example), you have to know that you won't do it in the future. Finally, Microsoft will improve user experience by providing a coherent profile photo experience across Microsoft 365 based on MS Graph endpoint and more especially via Microsoft People System (MPS).

  
This is a great thing, because users without an Exchange license can not change their user profile picture in this way, and some Microsoft applications don't use this endpoint to get the user's profile picture.

In the end, Microsoft will disable local uploads from SPO to the MySite host and instead enable centralized uploads to the Microsoft People System (MPS).
  
  
Hoping this post will help you, see you next month... 🚀
