SOLVED! Screen Flow Photo (Almost) Fail

In today's episode of "Q & A with Matt K!", Matt tackles a question from Ian in the Salesforce Trailblazer Community about displaying a user's profile photo using a Flow.

Ian's looking to display the image and name of their org's top performer over the last 7 days.

Here's the Full Question:

"Pull Profile Picture in a screen flow

I have a screen flow that is displaying a top rep (the rep that has created the most opportunities in the past 7 days). Based on those criteria, I want to display their profile picture alongside their name. I'm having trouble doing so with displaytext/image components. I'm sure there is a way to do this I'm not thinking of.

Any ideas?

After quite a bit of poking and prodding, testing, and checking, riiiiight before it looked like there was no solution in sight - a lightbulb!

39:41 - It works!

but Matt wasn't done! That answer opened his eyes to an even simpler solution!

44:35 - A surprisingly speedy method!

And here's a brief synopsis of the solution(s) Matt came up with:
- Create your flow
- Add a Screen to the Flow to Display Text
- In the Edit Screen, right click and "Inspect" the Rich Text Editor
- Find the HTML that corresponds to the Rich Text Editor
- Simply insert and image tag where the source is equal to {Your 'GET' for the User Record}.MediumPhotoUrl]
- (and you can use additional fields as well, if you want to use their name for the alt text, for example)!

Here's a sample of that snippet to copy and paste!

img src="{!Get_User.MediumPhotoUrl}" alt="{!Get_User.FirstName}" /

(Note: Don't forget your opening and closing brackets! Youtube won't allow them in the description).
