uploaded photo conforms to the criteria for photos for recognition and only capture the face in the

photo. You can also refer to the "photo example" next to "Recognize Photo".

"Display profile image" is a custom avatar displayed on the welcome screen. It may not be a real

photo.

employee photos for recognition. At present, you can only batch import employee information,

and then manually add photos for recognition, or batch add photos and then manually maintain

employee information.
