Attaching a gif displays "Sent a gif"
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.
View from the native tenant account:
View from the guest user account:
Jurgen Brouwer It looks like Microsoft finally shutdown the Teams UserVoice site. They have been slowly migrating away from UserVoice (a 3rd party product) and are preferring an in-house platform. I am not sure where all the UserVoice data migrated to, if at all.
I cannot find the GIF issue via search. I must assume that they didn't port issues over, or only ported select issues. I've created a new entry here: https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/5c6828f5-bb3c-ec11-a81a-000d3ae5f009
- Thank you, Nick Manor, voted for it 🙂
I had the same issue where instead of seeing a gif sent in a chat, I would see the link "Sent a GIF". I found that I had to turn on Settings -> Privacy -> "Optional connected experiences" to enable the gif app in Teams below the chat box. Once the gif app was enabled, then I could see GIFs sent in the chat. Refer to this thread for more details.
