As a user of the Outlook web app, you can also use smileys in your emails. Unlike the desktop versions, however, the app offers neither an “Icon” nor an “AutoCorrect” function so you can’t create your own shortcodes in Outlook on the web. Nevertheless, the web application also offers various options for inserting emoji into an Outlook mail.
Option 1: Insert classic smiley emoticons
Step 1: Outlook on the web also allows you to enter emoticons, some of which the web application automatically converts into corresponding emojis despite the lack of a correction function. As soon as you type in a colon, you will also be presented with a small selection of possible Outlook smileys.
Step 2: Select the smiley you want or click the three-dot button to open a large list of all available Outlook emojis. Alternatively, you can access them by selecting the smiley at the very bottom.
