Has anyone else noticed this, and if so, is there a solution to return to the first picture with options

    I *really* want to return to the first editing experience.  Our team's habit was to record immediate meeting videos inline with the thread we may have within a channel.  That's completely gone in the new way the editing box is presented.  I don't mind if it's hidden behind the "+", but it has just been completely removed.  The "schedule a meeting" that's still offerred is not appropriate for our use - especially because it slots things into everyone's calendar.

    We have some users reporting the same - new compose box, missing gifs. The new unified place for emojis and gifs is a separate thing on the roadmap rolling out now too, but one seems to be arriving before the other, which is pretty pants, but hey ho.

      Where are the previous features such as gifs that were part of the version prior (first picture) to this update?

        BET81 We were told that they would be accessible by clicking the smiley face; however, only emojis are currently available.  That may simply be our administrators having those features (gifs, stickers) turned off in the updated version.
