conveniently search for animated GIFs and include them in your
messages.
Be thoughtful when using this feature! Animated GIFs can be fun, but
they can also distract from the content of a conversation.
Organization administrators can [disable previews of linked
images](/help/image-video-and-website-previews#configure-whether-image-and-video-previews-are-shown),

[customize](/help/image-video-and-website-previews#configure-how-animated-images-are-played)
how animated images are played.
