# Block image and website previews
# Image, video and website previews
Zulip displays previews of images, videos and websites in your message feed. To
avoid disrupting the flow of conversation, these previews are small. You can
configure how animated images are previewed, and organization administrators can
also disable previews altogether.
## Configure how animated images are played
In the desktop and web apps, you can configure previews of animated images to
always show the animation, show it when you hover over the image with your
mouse, or not show it at all. You can always see the animated image by opening
it in the [image viewer](/help/view-images-and-videos).
{start_tabs}
{tab|desktop-web}
{settings_tab|preferences}
1. Under **Information**, select the desired option from the **Play animated
images** dropdown.
{end_tabs}
## Configure whether image and video previews are shown
{!admin-only.md!}
By default, when a user links to an image or a website, a preview of the
image or website content is shown. You can choose to disable previews of
images and/or website links.
Zulip proxies all external images in messages through the server, to
prevent images from being used to track Zulip users.
### Block image and website previews
{start_tabs}
{settings_tab|organization-settings}
1. Under **Other settings**, toggle **Show previews of uploaded and linked images and videos**.
{!save-changes.md!}
{end_tabs}
## Configure whether website previews are shown
{!admin-only.md!}
{start_tabs}

{end_tabs}
## Security
To prevent images from being used to track Zulip users, Zulip proxies all
external images in messages through the server.
