How to Send Gifs in Slack

‍

Gifs are a fun way to communicate, however Slack doesn't have a direct way of sending Gifs. It can only be done via an app called Giphy.

Here’s how you can use Giphy to send gifs in your Slack:

1. Type ‘/giphy’ command in the chatbox.
2. Choose the ‘Find and share a gif’ option from the list.
3. Describe the gif you want to generate and click ‘Search’.
4. If you’re not satisfied with the gif, you can use the ‘Shuffle’ option to generate more.
5. Click on ‘Share’ to send your gif.

Note - Giphy shortcuts will not appear in the attachments and shortcuts menu within threads. To share GIFs in a thread, use the /giphy command in the message field.
