This just started happening recently. When I am chatting with someone and I use the GIF icon to attach a gif, I see the gif just fine until I post the message, at which time the gif goes away and is replaced by a link titled "Sent a GIF". Clicking on the link takes me to the image on giphy.com.
The person I'm chatting with sees it fine.
Is there a setting for this somewhere? Why is this happening?

This is a real good question. Where to place such an issues?
There will be a day, it is working again. And nowhere you will find any hint why and how it as been fixed. That is microsoft.

I have a ticket open with Microsoft on this. I'm not being too pushy on the ticket but I'm not letting the ticket die either. They already tried to pull the ole "this is expected behavior" on me and I didn't accept that as a resolution.

This kind of thing sort of makes me giggle. I develop apps for clients, and since I work alone I think it's understandable if something I create has a bug. What kills me is when organizations with hundreds or thousands of developers break simple features. It's always good to have a talented team for creating excuses.

@Nick Manor, I can not open this link, it brings me to the list of all Teams tickets. Is it still available?

So far found following workaround:
With GIFs, just find the one you want, and ignore any of the options to embed/copy link/etc. Just right click on the GIF and select copy, then paste directly into the chat.
Thank you to

Thanks, vkonchuk, for posting this. I was very hopeful. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me. Will continue working on this..

@Nick Manor wow, did they just close the User Voice ticket? I didn't get any updates about it, but it looks like it got removed?

@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 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.
