Add social media icons to your email signature in Outlook 365 & OWA

All Outlook web apps have the same integrated signature editor and have the same setup for your email signature. The instructions below apply to Outlook for Office 365 and to the outlook.live.com web app.

Note:

Adding a Facebook or Instagram link to your email signature is practically the same as adding an image with a link.

This means that you’ll need to have your social media logos/icons ready before we start (if you’re adding more than one type of social media you’ll need your icons to be the same size for your signature to look professional).
