Pasting GIF from clipboard
Historically, users were able to right-click > 'copy image' and paste a GIF into a teams chat.
In the last few weeks, users are reporting that this does not seems to be working in conversations.
GIF plugin has been enabled in conversations for the organization, however, not enabled for teams channels.
When using the GIF button in conversations, GIFs are able to be posted, but the copy/pasting of clipboard copied images no longer result in GIFs pasting into the chat.
Doing so via the web client indicates that the GIF will post until the message is sent and results in the following image:
Result of pasted GIF
Performing the same steps in a teams team, does, however, allow the clipboard contents to paste and display.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
- Yes, seeing the same thing. I manage multiple tenants and often paste GIFs of short screen recordings for instructional purposes. I'm able to paste it in and see it there, and after I hit send for a moment it shows the gif while uploading, but then immediately shows the same result you're seeing.
Very frustrating.- I just see the picture instead of the live gif.
PeterR I have, but only as a guest in an organization's tenant.
- I have the same question as PeterR. Does anyone know if there is a solution to the GIF copy/paste issue?
- I am experiencing the same issue via our internal chats and team posting.
Same here - html doesn't imbed, copy/paste shows image and not the gif
Having the same issue. I used this to do screen recordings with ShareX and paste them into chat, but this no longer seems to work. Was this removed intentionally?
Please also note that if a copied static image has transparency (from an editor), the image cannot be pasted. This is not good either. Thanks.
