Add a GIF to a message

1. Under the area where you type a message, select   GIF.

   • You can get another gallery to choose from by pressing the  Windows key + . (period) on your keyboard.

2. Type a term into the Search field to find a specific GIF.

3. Choose the image to add and select   Send.

You can't import GIFs into the gallery, but you may be able to use GIFs from a 3rd party site.

Right-click (control-click on Mac) and select Copy image on the GIF of interest. Paste it into your message.  This only works with GIFs, not mp4 videos. 

Tip: If your GIF button is missing, open Settings>Privacy and toggle Optional connected experiences off and on.  Additionally, try clearing the teams cache.
