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

Unfortunately, after downloading the version directly from the website, I allowed the application to go through an update that resulted in the GIF functionality disappearing again. It seems likely this is a bug/side-effect of the latest update and may see a subsequent update restore the functionality.

For now, the only options seem to be to use the older version of Teams (that's going away soon), or to log in to Teams in a web browser via teams.microsoft.com.

I have the same issue. I'm also using the New Teams. I tried the same solutions, and the only workaround that worked was pressing the Windows key + period button, which brought up a pop-up menu for choosing emojis and gifs. Sadly, this workaround doesn't restore gifs to their original location, so it's still bugged for me.

EDIT: Earlier in the day it worked fine, but when I downloaded the recent windows update the bug appeared.

I am also having the same issue here. As of today on 04/09/2024 my Giffy is missing in the NEW Teams, but is working fine in the OLD Teams. I am also missing a lot of other functions in the "type a new message box" in new Teams. I tried all the suggestions in this thread which include:

• Toggling Privacy -> Optional Connected Experiences off / on.
• Windows + . key (brings up emoji, but not Giffy).
• Signing out of Teams several times.
• Re-installing the "New" Teams.

Nothing fixes New Teams.

Hi, I am also having the same issue.

Same here, and it just started partway through the day yesterday (4/8). It's not affecting any of my colleagues and I've still been able to receive GIFs without issue.

SOLUTION: I uninstalled the "new" Teams via Settings and downloaded Teams directly from teams.microsoft.com/downloads and the GIF option came back!

• Be sure to check Settings > System > About > System Type to determine if you need the 32-bit, 64-bit, or ARM64 version.
