If you want to allow the player to access other’s Avatar URL, you need to do the settings on your title’s Game Manager first. Please refer to this section to do the settings. This thread’s answers also gives the detailed description about how to update the Avatar URL to Profile and how to request it.

To display the avatar image in the game, you need to download the image first. You can implement the download methods on your own or use the SimpleGetCall method that provided in the PlayFab SDK. To learn the usage of SimpleGetCall, you can refer to this document. After you download the image, you need to render it as the texture of GUI to display it. Different development platforms provide different ways of rendering images. You can consult the corresponding platform provider for more details.
