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?

    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.

    Had Gifs working fine yesterday and now lost them, tried doing the Privacy > Optional Connected Experiences trick, tried Windows & ., restarted, cleared the Teams cache etc and no joy

    If you update your teams, you'll lose the GIF button. You can swap back to the old/original teams to bring the GIF button back, until they fix this function on the updated version. Have fun sending laughs around work :)

    The bigger issue is according to Microsoft's timeline, Classic Teams is unavailable as of March 31 End of availability for classic Teams client - Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Learn So you can't flip back to something else.
