I appear to be the only one on our team (suddenly and inexplicably) missing the Gif button on my Teams desktop App/browser. It appears the same when I log on via edge. Where has my GIF button gone and how do I get it back?

click on the emoji happy face. seems they just moved stuff around.
Okay, doing windows key and . (period) whilst Teams was open and I was in a chat box has restored the gif button in Teams for me.
GIF button gone this morning. Others in my organisation still have it. Privacy > Optional Connected Experiences didn't work, and pressing Windows & period brings up emojis but no gifs. The messaging options have changed ....
Teams before ...
Teams now ...
This issue is happening in my company to half our office (over 300 users). Some have downloaded recent updates others have not but are all experiencing the same problem. I would like to say to admins here if we are on this thread 100% sure people have tried all the options listed through out without getting a solution hence further comments and critiques.
I believe the bigger issue is that this feature is controlled by 1 person who has control over the entire Teams for a company and should be moved to a user level not admin level. Let the individual users chose to turn this feature on or off ,not have it for one person to control everyone's abilities. This isn't the Lord of the GIFs, we don't need 1 admin to control them all.
This is one of the better features allowing users to communicate with feelings and suck's to no longer be able to make co-workers laugh and enjoy their day through humor and well wishes.

Given the flood of questions about this here in the community, it looks more like a widespread bug or intentional removal than a settings issue. We'll just have to wait for Microsoft to respond to the questions here.
