Please follow these step-by-step instructions to add social media icons to your email signature, which in turn will help promote our college’s social media accounts to both your internal and external email recipients.
Step 1: Click one of the brand color options listed below to download social media icons to insert into your email signature.
Step 2: In the new SharePoint folder tab that opens, click the Download button in the top banner. Extract the .zip folder download to wherever you would like the images saved.
Step 3: Open a new email in Outlook, click on the down arrow below Signature in the Message toolbar at the top, and then click Signatures…
Step 4: Click to the right of the last letter of the last word on the last line of your current signature and hit the Enter key.
Step 5: Click the icon in the top right corner above your signature to insert a picture.
Step 6: Navigate to the folder you saved the extracted icons to, and select all social media icons you would like to include in your signature. Then, click the Insert button in the bottom right corner.
Step 7: Click on the first of the icons you just inserted to see a dotted-line box appear around it. Right-click on the icon and click Picture… from the drop-down menu that appears.
Step 8: In the Format Picture window, click the Size tab at the top and under Scale change the height from 100% to 60%. It should automatically change the width to 60%, too. Put a lower or higher % if you want the icons smaller or larger. Click OK. Repeat this step for all icons.
Step 9: Click again on the first icon. Then right-click and click Link from the drop-down menu. Copy and paste the social media account’s shareable URL in the Address blank. Click OK. Repeat this step for all icons.
Step 10: Once all of the icons you want to be included in your email signature have been inserted, resized, and linked, they should all appear in a straight line. Click OK to save your changes. Close out the new email and open another new email. Your new email signature should now have the social media icons included.
