# Animated GIFs from GIPHY
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
You can [preview the
|
|
message](/help/preview-your-message-before-sending) before sending to
|
|
see what the message will look like.
|
|
|
|
## 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**.
|
|
|
|
{!save-changes.md!}
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
* If you don't see the GIPHY icon, this is likely because you are
|
|
using a self-hosted Zulip server that has not [configured the GIPHY
|
|
integration][configure-giphy].
|
|
|
|
[configure-giphy]: https://zulip.readthedocs.io/en/latest/production/giphy-gif-integration.html
|
|
|
|
* If your GIFs only appear as links after sending them, this is likely
|
|
because the organization has disabled [previews of linked
|
|
images](/help/allow-image-link-previews).
