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 am also having the same issue. I am using New Teams and the problem started yesterday. My coworkers don't have the issue, and the only solution/workaround that has worked for me in the "windows key + period", but the GIFs option is still not restored to it's original location.
This started happening on my desktop teams clients using the NEW teams (btw, terrible name.. should be simply versioned... is the next one going to be called "Newer New teams"?
I don't know if others are having the same issue.. but most others show all the icons, and not experiencing the problem I have.
Once, I was able to do the App Advanced settings and used "Reset" and "Repair". it worked for a little bit but went back to removing most of the chat icons again.
I have like 10 chat icons missing. I only now see: format, emoji, loop components, and "actions and apps" which doesn't show any options for GIF or some of the other missing icons.
I did the settings fix, mine was turned off. But it didn't change anything. have any other ideas?
I've also logged out and back in. And I have the "New" teams.
No, I did as you directed and it still has not appeared. I appreciate you trying to help though!
None of the solutions worked for me so Classic Teams it is! The New Teams can sit in the trash bin until they bring GIFs back!!! What's a day without good GIFs?!?!?!
None of the solutions worked for me, and this is my work laptop so I had our help desk guys take a look and they had no solution.
I also can't switch back to classic Teams - I get the Teams logo box in the middle of my screen like it's trying to launch, but then that's all I get. Box never goes away, Teams never loads. So if I kill that and launch Teams again, it prompts me if I want Classic or New Teams, and only if I select "New Teams" will Teams load - but with no GIF (or other options) below the text entry bar.
Makes sense if "March" is when classic Teams ended, but then why do I even have the switch in my settings?
Seems like a bug.
