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 was able to send GIF's yesterday but the button is gone this morning. I asked my office mate, he still has the ability. I don't dare ask the rest of my staff as it could cause some upset people! The use of GIF's is how we all blow off steam, have fun & lighten the mood. Why would MS ditch it??
