I saw a latest post from Microsoft TechNet blog posted by Jens Trier Rasmussen [MSFT], where Jens has updated that, now with the latest Lync 2013 September client update we will re-gain the functionality of adding picture from Web Address as a Lync Photo for the client, which is possible again and this option is not available in the client till date after the Lync 2013 client release.
Above said information is not enough as this feature will not get automatically enabled with the update and to get this feature enabled for the client it requires the Lync Administrator to configure a new ClientPolicy entry called EnablePresencePhotoOptions through Lync Management Shell.
Quick overview on this with the Lync client
Option Available with Lync 2010 client
Option not available in Lync 2013 client so far.
Option will be Enabled after installing the Update and Configuring the Client policy.
Once the option to Show a Picture from a web site is selected, user can specify the required web address and need to ensure that all the specified conditions are met before specifying the link and save the changes.
