Tech Tip: Insert Screenshots Directly Into Outlook Emails

Outlook includes a built in Screenshot tool that lets you quickly capture a window or part of your screen and insert it straight into an email, saving time and avoiding the need to use separate screenshot tools.

How to do it

Outlook:

- Open a new email message.
- Place your cursor where you want the image to appear.
- Select the Insert tab in the ribbon.
- Click Screenshot.

Choose a full open window, or select Screen Clipping to capture a specific area.

The screenshot is then inserted directly into your email, making it easier to explain issues clearly and keep conversations moving without extra attachments or back and forth.

Note: This feature is only available in the desktop version of Outlook on Windows.
