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.

    I'm inclined to agree. We'll just have to cancel work until this is sorted out since we can't be expected to communicate productively without the use of gifs.

    I have a full on mutiny over here. The problem is that the people who can still send gifs are taunting the people who can't by sending them gifs. It's getting ugly and I need a solution.

    GIFs were working for everyone on our team yesterday, and today the option is gone. I'm the Org Admin and there is also no option to enable GIFs in the settings:

    I may have a mutiny on my hands soon, please send help.
