# Animated GIFs from GIPHY
|
|
|
|
!!! tip ""
|
|
|
|
This feature is not available on self-hosted Zulip servers where
|
|
the [GIPHY integration][configure-giphy] has not been configured
|
|
by a system administrator.
|
|
|
|
Zulip integrates with [GIPHY](https://giphy.com), allowing you to
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
1. First, [open the compose box](/help/open-the-compose-box).
|
|
|
|
1. **Click the GIPHY logo** at the bottom of the compose box. This
|
|
opens the GIPHY search tool.
|
|
|
|
1. Use the search tool to find a GIF you'd like to use.
|
|
|
|
1. **Click on an image** to insert a link to the GIF in the compose box.
|
|
|
|
1. Send the message. Zulip will display the GIF like any other linked
|
|
image.
|
|
{end_tabs}
|
|
|
|
You can [preview the
|
|
message](/help/preview-your-message-before-sending) before sending to
|
|
see what the message will look like.
|
|
|
|
Note that some organizations disable [previews of linked
|
|
images](/help/image-video-and-website-previews).

## Restrict maximum rating of GIFs retrieved from GIPHY
|
|
|
|
{!admin-only.md!}
|
|
|
|
By default, the GIPHY integration is configured to only retrieve GIFs
|
|
that GIPHY categorizes as rated G (General audience). You can change
|
|
this configure or disable GIPHY integration entirely:
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{settings_tab|organization-settings}
|
|
|
|
1. Under **Other settings**, select a rating from **Maximum rating of GIFs**.

|
|
|
{end_tabs}

|
## Privacy
|
|
|
|
GIPHY is a third-party service owned by Facebook, and any text you
|
|
enter into Zulip's GIPHY search box will be sent by your browser to
|
|
GIPHY's servers via the GIPHY API. Because this request is done
|
|
directly by your browser, GIPHY will be able to see your IP address,
|
|
and may use that data to track you, similar to if you visited the
|
|
GIPHY website and typed the same search keywords there.
|
|
|
|
Zulip proxies all external images in messages through the server,
|
|
including those from GIPHY, to prevent images from being used to track
|
|
recipients of GIFs from GIPHY.
