GIFs not working in MS Teams

We are running MS Teams (for school and work). Some users are having the issue that GIFs are not working. We have tried all the steps in the link below, but it is still not working.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

If it's not affecting all users it's probably not a MS Teams setting. 


If there are no common factors separating users who see GIFs play and those who don't then consider a local issue like local browsers settings, especially if you've a mixed audience using both the Teams app and web browsing.


Edge for example has a Media Autoplay feature (Ellipsis ("...") > Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Media Autoplay) where GIF (and other media) playback can be blocked.  With most browsers the setting itself is hidden but it can be easily reset by a user's previous choices from interacting with playable media.
