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?

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!
This seems tied to an update.

We have had it slowly creep through our organization as people lost their GIFs. It seems a few people have gained the access back after some time. Here's hoping it just takes time for the rest of the organization to follow suit.
It worked to turn 'Optional connected experiences' off then back on again. I also ran 'check for updates' so either may have made it work for me; or both.
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.

Yes, our entire team has lost their GIF, and we are losing our minds with these horrible stickers. Purple broccoli?
