How to Add Signature in Outlook

Back when letters were the standard, you always signed your name at the end. Today, email is the new letter, and your email signature is just as important. A professional signature not only makes it easy for people to contact you, it can also promote your organization every time you hit send.

The good news is that you do not have to type it out each time. Outlook can automatically add a custom signature to your emails, and you can adjust it whenever you need. This video walks you through how to set it up so your emails look polished and professional.
