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

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.

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.

The thing is, our administrator is out of town and other members of the team, and the same chat, are not having this issue.

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

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.
