Animated GIF Images in Chat

Animated GIF Images in Chat

I know this seems to be a small feature request but in a recent Cliq update Zoho disabled autoplay for animated GIFs posted in Cliq conversations.

We think this was not a good change. In our organization, animated GIFs in a chat play a role in expressing a feeling or emotion. By requiring a user to click on an animated GIF to experience the message the sender tried to express, breaks the experience the sender was trying to express.

We are suggesting that Zoho create an option that allows the Admin to either turn on or off animated GIFs to be played in chat (either by users, channel, or company wide).

I would love to hear from other Zoho Cliq users if we are the only ones who feel the same way.
