Issue with Animated Gifs not working in Hero Webpart
Hi Everyone, Just looking to see if anyone else is seeing this issue where animated gifs have stopped working on Hero Webparts? Add it as a normal image and works totally fine. Add the image...
Richard Vine having the same issue here where GIFs were playing fine in Hero Webparts... but for some reason as of a few weeks ago, they do not animate at all.
I did some further testing and this issue persists for existing sites with existing pages & new pages... and newly created sites with new pages.
I did notice that "shorter" length GIFs animate fine in Hero Webparts. It is the longer GIFs that seem to get frozen and do not play in Hero.
My guess, M365 might have made an update with its latest patch of features eg "schedule site launch" and template enhancements, where Heros cannot read "long" GIF files on page load. Pernille-Eskebo please help!
