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 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.

    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.

    haha yeah, that's the un-ideal workaround the user is doing....

    Anyway, we've also tried cleaning up the cache folder, %userprofile%\appdata\local\Packages\MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache but to no avail, GIF button is not there.

    We do think this is a Microsoft side problem, not really a client side. as reported in this thread and another I've seen, this is affecting different versions (24033, 24060...) but of course, nothing clear on where this might be coming from :(

    Teams autoupdates itself, so you're just buying time and not fixing anything. The new tems is not beta, i'ts been aorund quite some time already.
