Teams One-2-One chat: Drag and drop of gifs does not work anymore

Question

Hi!

I used to be able to drag und drop gifs from giphy.com in Google Chrome to the Teams chat. Since about a month, it does not work anymore. When I drag the gif to the teams chat, the icon for dropping comes up a millisecond and then again, the cannot drop icon appears. When trying to drag from Edge, it does not work either. When trying to drag from Firefox a message appears saying that some files could not be updated because necessary data was missing "Einige Dateien konnten nicht hochgeladen werden, weil ihnen notwendige Daten fehlen!"

Teams: 1.4.00.29469 (64-Bit)
Google Chrome: Version 95.0.4638.54
Windows: Windows 10 Enterprise Version 10.0.18363 Build 18363

To me it looks like a bug. Can I solve this somehow?

Best wishes, Katharina

Hi @Katharina Pieber ,

Well, had a test on this and seems like this only happens on desktop client 1V1 chat. The Teams for Web is OK as well the Channel conversations.

And I have noticed that no one has sent the feedback about this question, so I just created one:
