How do I insert a GIF file in Outlook and make it play automatically? And ensure it plays when forwarded to others?

Hello BM BIM中心 蘇純正,

Hope you are doing well. Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft community.

I understand that you need to play GIF file automatically on your outlook desktop app.

According to the description, I've checked a few things on my end, you cannot play GIF file automatically on your outlook desktop 2019/2021 Professional Plus. This feature is not available on that version of desktop outlook.

I do understand your need for this, and we do apologize if we are not able to meet your requirements. However, thank you for bringing this to our attention, we will surely raise your concerns to our Product Team and hopefully this can be included in the future updates.

In case, I misunderstood you in any way, please let me know.

In the meantime, please provide feedback on this feature request by creating a new post in the Feedback Portal at Outlook · Community (microsoft.com), Microsoft is committed to enhancing the customer experience by continually examining suggestions to include in the design and development of future product upgrades based on your suggestions.

I would be very grateful for your valuable cooperation.

Sincerely

Nafis Iqbal Shuvo
