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.
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?!?!?!
Hi Brian,
We're on the same boat, and also done all those tests. We've also tried to completely remove Teams with:
get-appxpackage -name *msteams* | remove-apppackage -allusers
Then reinstalled it following step 1 option A as per this link:
At first we recovered GIF button and other functionalities, but those have disappeared the next day.... a bit frustrating, although not impacting too many users in our org so far
Unfortunately, after downloading the version directly from the website, I allowed the application to go through an update that resulted in the GIF functionality disappearing again. It seems likely this is a bug/side-effect of the latest update and may see a subsequent update restore the functionality.
For now, the only options seem to be to use the older version of Teams (that's going away soon), or to log in to Teams in a web browser via teams.microsoft.com.
I have the same issue. I'm also using the New Teams. I tried the same solutions, and the only workaround that worked was pressing the Windows key + period button, which brought up a pop-up menu for choosing emojis and gifs. Sadly, this workaround doesn't restore gifs to their original location, so it's still bugged for me.
EDIT: Earlier in the day it worked fine, but when I downloaded the recent windows update the bug appeared.
