# 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).
|
|
|
|
!!! warn ""
|
|
|
|
This configuration applies only to images uploaded since July 21, 2024 on
|
|
Zulip Cloud, or on Zulip Server [9.0+](/help/view-zulip-version) in
|
|
self-hosted organizations. Previews of images uploaded earlier are always
|
|
animated.

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