Does anyone know how to remedy this error - it seems this happens when there is no picture for the team member. If there is a solution in which component would I put it - ? would it be within the Image component?

@joel914823 Although your formula looks fine, can you try to pass Primary Email as the user id.
here is some limitation while working with Office365Users.UserPhotoV2():
The Office365Users.UserPhotoV2() function works with users within your Office 365 environment. It requires proper authentication and permissions to access the user's profile photo.
The function returns a URL to the user's photo. The image control in Power Apps will automatically display the photo using this URL.
If a user doesn't have a profile photo, the function might return a default placeholder image.
Keep in mind that user profile photos might not be available for all users in your organization's directory.

Hi @joel914823,

Indeed this function returns an error if no valid mail address is provided. To handle that error, use the IfError function:

IfError(Office365Users.UserPhotoV2(Thisitem.mail), SampleImage)

@BCBuizer thanks for the suggestion - I tried to enter this in, but it seems like there is an invalid argument, any ideas?

Hi @joel914823

To use the IfError function suggested by @BCBuizer , you need to enable the following Preview feature in Settings:

Preview features aren't recommended for production apps, however in my experience you can use the error one with confidence. More info here if you need it.

Please try enabling that Preview feature to see if the IfError function then works for you.

@BCBuizer @cdwhite Thank you both - I tried enabling the preview feature but now the picture doesn't load at all.

@gcmfaizan Thank you . I tried this method but now it shows my picture (whomever is logged into the app) versus the user name of the item in the gallery.

@joel914823 yes you are right User().Email means your email, that's why I asked you to pass the primary email of the selected user for example: ThisItem.PrimaryEmail, This column is only shown when you are using the Users table as a data source.
Alternatively, you can use the lookup function inside the Office365Users.UserPhotoV2():
Office365Users.UserPhotoV2(LookUp(Users,'Primary Email' = ThisItem.Email).'Primary Email')
Note: I'm assuming the column email already exists in your current gallery data source.
