Many of the members of our Team have a "GIF" button along with the emoji and format buttons, but I have never had the ability to add gifs to my chats. I have no idea why this would be happening.

I'm a global admin for my company and couldn't figure out why I didn't have giphy on my teams, despite having the authority to give myself the permission.

while it is possible it's disabled by either an org admin or just the team owner, I found that the icon will also disappear if "optional connected experiences" is not enabled, under privacy in settings.

    Please select (...) next to the team name > select manage team > select members tab > owners.

    Under the owners section, you should be able to see the owner & co-team owner.

    It could be you are not part of the same team with them, to clarify this you need to reach out to your team owner so he o she can double-check this issue.
