We use a lot of gifs in our slides and you can’t insert the link to a gif in Figma slides.

Hi, how do you do this on a mac? There is no entry field.

Download the gif and put it in the slides

This did not work, checked in present mode as well.

What do you mean by “didn’t work”? What exactly did you do and what results are you seeing?

I saved the gif to my desktop, tried dragging it into the Figma slides doc, also tried adding via add image. Both showed a static image of the gifs but neither actually played the gif in presentation mode. I saved multiple different gifs to see if it was an issue with a specific gif but none worked for me.

I have the same experience. Thank you for clarifying.

Did you solve it? I also don’t get an insert field. Drag and drop, I only get a still of my Giphy in it. Or by saving it and inserting it at video… I really don’t know how to solve…

Folks, on Mac replace file’s name with that Giphy link described above and then insert the img into the deck, it will be animated when in presentation mode

It still doesn’t work on mac. Changing the file name to the link is not allowed on my mac.

Did anyone found a solution?
