Adding Emoji's to Email

Hello

I saw you picked the outlook.com category for this question, so I assume you meant the outlook.com interface via web browser?

If so, when you compose an email, go to the Message tab, then click on three dots > Emoji to launch it.

In Outlook on the web or Outlook.com, emojis are always inserted from the compose area; they cannot be permanently “pinned” inside the message body, but the emoji picker is built into the toolbar so it’s only one click away.

For Outlook on the web / Outlook.com:

1. Start a new email or reply/forward an existing one.
2. At the bottom of the message, select the Emoji / Insert emojis and GIFs icon.
3. In the panel that opens, scroll through Popular emojis or search, then click the emoji to insert it into the email.
4. Close the panel when finished.

On Windows, the keyboard shortcut already in use (Windows logo key + . or ;) is the built‑in way to open the Windows emoji panel anywhere, including Outlook.

There is no setting in Outlook on the web or Outlook.com to keep an emoji palette permanently visible inside every email; it is always opened on demand via the emoji icon or the Windows shortcut.
