Able to use Gif or video loops

Hey Will Roberts you do know that you would need a Giphy Api Key and enter it in messenger studio right?

I did that already. What I mentioned was meant for button icons, backgrounds, covers, etc

Oh my bad

I tried to upload a Gif but it didn't animate so I don't think there's support for it yet. 

you mean like this?

See it works fine in here but trying to do one on a cover or background it doesn't work

Ohhh i see what you mean, hmm, that would be cool.

Yep just tried this here on my cover photo and it's not animated, that not cool

Would be nice

Let's see if we can mention it for a future update. I know in Dolphin it used to work

Yep, bust it out and request it

I imagine the answer in this thread will be the same you will get back. Basically images that are resized in UNA (e.g. cover image) wont be animated any more.

I saw, but i don't think that it's about the profile cover, unless i'm blind.

While digging around in Froala I came upon the option to use SVG instead of Font Awesome 5. SVG is a format called Scalable Vector Graphics. They can even be animated...I may play around with that and see what I can come up with. If I am able to exchange icons with SVG images or even animated ones then that would be a great work around for animated icons 🤔

Gifs can be uploaded from your computer or phone the same way JPG images can. You don't need to rely on API Gif files or links. 

SVG images are only availible for icons....you can't even use them for cover or backgrounds. I was kinda upset because I created a really nice Logo using SVG and they wouldn't take SVG files. Yet they take GIF files and Gifs don't even animate when uploaded. 

We use an animated SVG file as out default covers, it works really well. We tried to load a mouse activated motion tail svg, but it does not pick up the mouse over.
