Why am I unable to add hyperlinks to photos in Outlook for Mac?

Hi @VidCraft

Thank you so much for your patience. I’ve taken a close look at this, and I completely understand how frustrating and likely confusing, it must have been, especially with that temporary fix you discovered. 

From what I’ve learned, in the New Outlook for Mac, the way we used to add hyperlinks to images has been changed as part of the updated design. This means the feature is no longer available in the same way it used to be. 

While I truly wish I had a more permanent solution to offer, there currently isn't a fix or a supported workaround available. We genuinely appreciate feedback like yours, as it plays an important role in helping Microsoft continue to improve the product. I’ve also made sure to raise this internally, so the product team is aware of the impact, and I’d kindly encourage you to share your experience directly as well. You can do this by going to Outlook > Help > Contact Support. Your voice matters, and every bit of feedback helps shape future updates. 

In the meantime, if you need to add hyperlinks to images, the Outlook Web App (outlook.office.com) does still support this functionality. 

I know this isn't the answer you were hoping for, but I genuinely appreciate your patience and understanding. If there’s anything else I can do to help or clarify, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

I googled a solution.

Open a new Word document

Insert the image you want to hyperlink into the Word document

Right click on the image and "link"

Paste URL

Then copy the image from the Word into the email body.

It worked for me.

In our Company we have the same problem with the Outlook Version 16.100. To copy the picture from a Word is not working for us.
