Gif button has gone missing. How do I get it back?

Hello! My name is Mustafa, and I am an Independent Advisor as well as a long-time Microsoft user. I'm sorry that you are experiencing this issue, and I am hopeful that I will be able to help you find a satisfactory solution.

In yours, settings (...) at the top of the Teams client > Privacy > Scroll down to Optional Connected Experiences - is this turned on? If it is turned off it will turn Giphy off and she will not be able to use GIFs

Also is it you only who has this issue in your organization.

Please let me know if this doesn't work or if you need further assistance.

Warm Regards,

Mustafa

I had the same thing happen to me today and was bummed out!! However if you hit the windows key and . (period) you will get a gif option. at least I did. I need my comic relief and snarky gif replies!

Hi, Mustafa -

After reviewing the community posts this one was one of the things I checked. Optional connected experiences is on. I haven't checked the whole office, but I'm the only one on my team with this issue.

I'm having the same problem. I've looked at other solutions on here and the only solution i see is hoping for an admin to check settings. This seems like it should be accessible to anyone to turn on and off not jut 1 person with all the power. One of my favorite features and a great way to express yourself to other members of the community and its under the control of a few who may not even care. Please work to make this part of teams more accessible to all members to control.

I have tried the optical experience button on and off. I have tried a full reboot, checked for updates, signed out, signed back in, and still no GIF's. My work day is now not even worth getting out of bed for
