EMAIL SIGNATURE OUTLOOK FOR MAC 2016 DO NOT ATTACH IMAGES UPDATE
We’re holding out for an update that solves this, but the Microsoft Outlook team seems to be somewhat quiet on the issue. Unfortunately the same HTML issues existed within this editor, so there was no change for users. In 2013, Outlook moved to a new text editor similar to word. Word cannot read HTML elements in your emails meaning that all GIFs you include as you write an email, or GIFs received in an email from someone else, will display as a still image of the first frame of that GIF. Since 2007, Outlook began to use Microsoft Word as it’s text editor.

Why is Outlook 2007 – 2016 not Able to Play my GIFs? Microsoft uses new editor similar to Word, meaning continued issues. While the method is not as straightforward as it is in Outlook 2013/2016, it is possible to add an image to an email signature in the Outlook Web App. In the search bar labelled Search Outlook settings type in signature or email signature. As we know, signatures added in Outlook 2013/2016 do not show up in the Outlook Web App you have to create two signatures in both places. When Microsoft Outlook is opened to the Mail page in your browser look in the top right-hand corner and select the settings gear icon. Microsoft started using Word as an editor, resulting in loss of HTML functionality. Tap the < in the upper left corner of the Signature screen. The image will automatically resize to fit in your signature.

Simply drag the image into the signature white space screen pictured below. Next, find the image you want to place inside your signature.

If you have issues with GIFs in Outlook, have a quick look at the table below to check if your version has a problem, and read on for a quick fix. Open Mac Mail and go to Mail -> Preferences -> Signatures.
