Insert A File That Has Active Motion In It

Post by hlewton »

I'm not sure exactly how to explain this, but if you look at the link you will see it is Dr. Murphy from the show The Good Doctor scratching his head. From a site I saw a joke and it showed him scratching his head and I did not have to click any link, it was just there. I tried to send it the same way by copying its link but I had to make it a clickable link like I did here. Is there a way I could have inserted it into an Outlook email and have whatever it is showing all the time and have no need to click a link? Maybe it is a *.png file but I didn't find a definitive answer for my search in looking for a definition of a *.png.

Doctor

In my post above, I believe I am talking about a *.gif file. So, my question would be how can I insert the above link as a gif file in an Outlook email.

Have you tried right-clicking and see if it can be downloaded?
(I can.)
The just place it in your email.

I believe that worked. I did have to hit the play button but maybe it keeps playing even after it is sent. I didn't copy the image before thinking I had to copy the link. Thank you.
