Insert an icon

1. Select Insert > Icons.

2. Scroll through the icons or jump to a category by clicking a name in the navigation pane at the left.

Beginning with version 1908, you can search for icons by using the box near the top left corner.

3. Choose an icon and then click Insert at the lower right.

Insert multiple icons at the same time by clicking each of them before clicking Insert.

4. Rotate, color, and resize your icon by following the instructions here.

Tip: Want to quickly change the color of your icon? Right-click your icon, choose Fill, and select the color you want.

Insert Icons on Visio

The process to insert icons on Visio is slightly different. Here you need to go to the Shapes menu, choose Basic Shapes, and then Icons. From there you'll be able to select one of the categories of icons and choose the icons you want to insert into your diagram. 

Insert SVG files

SVG stands for scalable vector graphic file, which is an image you can rotate, color, and resize without losing image quality. Office apps, including Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Excel, support inserting and editing SVG files.
