    ANOTHER IMPORTANT UPDATE: MindeaLLC, we have discovered that the issue only occurs for "Guest" users in Teams. Users that are native to the Azure tenant do not see this issue.

     

    Since I have both a native and a guest account on Teams, I was able to test this issue, as shown below.

I created a UserVoice bug report here: https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/908686-bug-reports/suggestions/44076141-attaching-a-gif-displays-sent-a-gif

Not sure if Microsoft is still checking this, but a few more up-votes couldn't hurt.

Nick Manor, I can not open https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/908686-bug-reports/suggestions/44076141-attaching-a-gif-displays-sent-a-gif link, it brings me to the list of all Teams tickets. Is it still available?

    So far found following workaround:

    With GIFs, just find the one you want, and ignore any of the options to embed/copy link/etc. Just right click on the GIF and select copy, then paste directly into the chat.

      Thanks, vkonchuk, for posting this. I was very hopeful. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me. Will continue working on this..
