"There was a problem saving the photo. Please try again."
Every time someone tries to change the image of the team we get this error, "There was a problem saving the photo. Please try again." We try and try and try and try and try and try again with NADA. I...
OrlaJoan Hi, wow this conversation is massive. I wonder if all are having identical issues with the photo. Must be that similar has been merged into this one.
Anyway, for the record. Something that can affect is the following.
"Teams users with mailboxes hosted on premises must be synchronized to Azure Active Directory. They can change the user profile picture providing Exchange Server 2016 (Cumulative Update 3), or above, is running on-premises."

See the table with "User's mailbox is hosted in" and the "Modify user profile picture" to see if you should be able to do it.
'How Exchange and Microsoft Teams interact'

Note the 7 disclaimer as well.
"Teams honors the Outlook on the web mailbox policy setting that's configured by tenant admins to control whether users can change their profile picture. If the -SetPhotoEnabled setting is turned off in the policy, users cannot add, change, or remove their profile picture."
I found that changing the photo (in this case for a Teams icon) only worked in the online version of Teams. Locally, it seems that noone can get this to work.

You will need to sign out of teams desktop and sign back in. This will clear the cache, unfortunately everyone else will probably not see your profile pic until they also clear their teams cache.
Good Luck
