How to autoplay mp3 in outlook mail

Outlook doesn't have a built-in feature to autoplay MP3 files in emails. However, there are a few workarounds you can try:

Method 1: Use a third-party add-in

You can install a third-party add-in like "Audio Player" or "SoundMail" that allows you to play audio files in Outlook. These add-ins can be downloaded from the Microsoft Office Store or other reputable sources.

Method 2: Use a script

You can use a script to play the MP3 file in Outlook. Here's an example of a VBA script that you can use:

1. Open the Visual Basic Editor in Outlook by pressing Alt + F11 or by navigating to Developer > Visual Basic in the Outlook ribbon.
2. In the Visual Basic Editor, create a new module by clicking Insert > Module.
3. Paste the following code into the module:

   Sub PlayAudio()
    Dim audioFile As String
    audioFile = "C:\Path\To\Your\MP3\File.mp3"
    Dim audioPlayer As Object
    Set audioPlayer = CreateObject("WMPlayer.OCX")
    audioPlayer.URL = audioFile
    audioPlayer.settings.volume = 50
    audioPlayer.controls.play
   End Sub

4. Replace "C:\Path\To\Your\MP3\File.mp3" with the actual path to your MP3 file.
5. Save the module by clicking File > Save.

Method 3: Use a browser-based solution

You can use a browser-based solution like Google Drive or Dropbox to host your MP3 file and share the link in your email. This way, the recipient can play the audio file in their browser.

Method 4: Convert MP3 to WAV

If you want to play the MP3 file in Outlook without using a third-party add-in or script, you can convert the MP3 file to WAV format, which is a format that Outlook can play natively. You can use a tool like Online-Convert.com or FormatFactory to convert the MP3 file to WAV.

Keep in mind that these workarounds may have limitations, such as compatibility issues or security concerns. Always exercise caution when installing third-party add-ins or scripts, and make sure you're using reputable sources.
