Opinion I have a question about embedding a link into a image

[cinque8]

Hello,

I am working on embedding a link into a photo image, and I have a question. In the red image below, with the white triangular image, what is that image called, and where can I get a copy?

Thank you

It is the YouTube logo. Search google images for plenty of them.

Google images has been around for a good 15 years at least I'm surprised people aren't aware of it. You can also search by resolution to make sure you find high quality images rather than low quality.

OK, I confess . . .,

I am a Newbie,

So what would be the easiest, or best way to embed a link into a photo image?

I am a big Chiefs fan!

I am thinking about uploading a video about the Chiefs to Youtube, and emailing my friends and telling them to click on the photo link with the Youtube logo in the center.

I've never really emailed a YouTube video to friends before, but theoretically the video should just have the thumbnail show up in the email on the recipients side? But I do know some email services treat embedded videos differently, so you could just attach the photo to the email as an image. That's how I'd do it. I guess you could email it to yourself first to test how it shows up to the recipient.

You will just use standard HTML for the body of the email.

<a href="THE URL YOU WANT"><img src="THE IMAGE FILE" alt="ALT TEXT FOR PEOPLE WHO DONT LOAD IMAGES"></a>

This thread was about sending links via email.
