I'm trying to add a circle to a screenshot that I added to an email message in Outlook.

How do I do this in the message editor without using any external photo editing utilities?

Paste the screenshot into MS Paint and add a circle from there. The Snipping Tool included with Windows 10 makes taking and editing screenshots easy, if you need to do this often.

  • Please read the question again carefully. Your answer does **not** answer the original question. "without using any external photo editing utilities?" – DavidPostill Apr 27 '18 at 20:57
  • The original question was edited to include the line you quoted after I answered it. OP, why can't you use external tools? – Mike Apr 28 '18 at 21:37
  • I'd like to stay in the current environment. I would prefer to use what Outlook has available. I think of it in the same way that I am able to format text within the editor instead of needing to use MS Word or some other program to make the change. Does this help? – dmcgill50 Apr 30 '18 at 15:08

You may click Insert > Shapes, select Oval then hold on Shift to draw a circle on the screenshot:enter image description here

Afterwards, you may use the drawing tools to change the format of the circle, for example, a red one with no fill:

  • Just to note that to get to the screen shot above the message has to be in its own pop up window and not in outlook's preview pane. – Haim Katz Oct 18 '21 at 10:26
