I can't figure it out.

The help center article is correct, the tricky part is finding the right link to paste in. The procedure for this is different for each site you post a gif from

Giphy has expanded their platform to support more media than just GIFs. If you're not copying the link to a GIF specifically, it will not convert properly here. The general rule is if the link ends in ".gif", it will properly embed within the post.

For example, if I copy a link to this Giphy clip, and paste it below:

https://giphy.com/clips/grinchmovie-grinch-illumination-movie-Y0NhkIdyT3TVBDWLkG

it won't automatically embed, but if I copy a link to this GIF from Giphy:

https:\\media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExb2JhN2dkZ2RkazMxcDk0amx6MjBvaGV6bjVwdzgwYXA3cm80MXN2ZyZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/xUOrw4tlQfCTGmD5Kw/giphy.gif

(replacing // with \\ for demonstration)



On Giphy, when clicking the share button, if you see "Copy Clip Link" or anything else besides "Copy GIF Link" then the media you're trying to embed isn't a GIF, and won't convert properly.

YES!!!

Thanks for the help. That's what I was going to post on the pool party thread.

In reply to gman4455 I was just on GIPHY and clicked "copy GIF link" but the link didn't end in .gif so it wouldn't work. What's the issue there?
