Do any of these services let you share your own gifs over slack?
Last time I tried: dragging in gifs (or mp4s or webps) resulted in an attachment, not an inline gif, giphy wanted money to upload your own gifs, and gfycat had some kind of slow and inconsistent review process so that your gifs don't show up in search (or in the slack plugin) for weeks to months after you upload them.
- kennxfl 6y agoThis is the kind of the issue Facebook will help sort out. On the other hand, they will collect a lot of data about trending topics/searches in a bid to sell/suggest more trendy ads to advertisers.
- whalesalad 6y agoCouldn’t you just... drag the gif into Slack?
- 867-5309 6y ago> dragging in gifs ... resulted in an attachment
- lovegoblin 6y agoI've never had this problem, and I do it all the time. It embeds just fine.
- jjoonathan 6y agoNon-animated GIFs embed just fine, if that's what you mean. I just tried animated again, and sure enough, attachment.
- whalesalad 6y agoS3 bucket, FTP folder, imgur... for your custom gif's and then you can paste a URL and get animation. No frills.
- jjoonathan 6y agoIf I paste a URL, I get a URL, not an embedded image. Then people have to click it to see the gif, and they don't, so it defeats the purpose.
- whalesalad 6y agoThat is a preference you disabled. By default URLs are expanded inline.
- prophetjohn 6y agoCopy and paste it into slack instead
- jjoonathan 6y agoUhh.... that creates an attachment. I'm begging to suspect that there's a setting, hidden size threshold, or something involved.
- RandallBrown 6y agoCould be a setting in your organization or something I guess. Uploading a gif works fine for me and it's animated.
- ninkendo 6y agoJust typing /giphy <search term> is so easy though.
