Thank you TerpnInMN, but I believe this is a different issue than the thread you referenced.

In this case GIFs are not disabled, but GIFs from giphy.com specifically are not properly embedded into messages. Instead a "Sent a GIF" message appears for all users on GIFs from giphy.com, but not for GIFs from other websites.

Below I have pasted all of the settings from the main instance of Teams that my group controls the tenant for. All of the settings appear to be in line with the article you referenced, yet we still have this issue.
