This action puts the image in the background of the email message, so you can type over it. The image is tiled, if necessary, to fill the entire background.
Adding a background picture to a message isn't currently possible in Outlook on the web. You can, however, add a picture in the classic Outlook desktop app.
Don't have the Outlook desktop app? Try or buy Microsoft 365.
