Adding GIFs
TeamRetro supports adding Tenor GIFs to ideas, in addition to comments and chat messages, allowing you to bring a little extra personality, emphasis, or fun to your team discussions.
Adding GIFs can help:
- Foster team culture and inject some light-heartedness into otherwise routine discussions
- Enhance communication—sometimes a well-timed GIF says more than words
- Build engagement, especially in remote or hybrid teams
- Encourage participation by giving team members another way to react or show support
Enabling GIFs
From the account level, navigate to the SETTINGS —> FEATURES tab.
Scroll down to the Idea and comment attachments section.
Enable the ANIMATED GIFS option.
