This one seems strange, could be a good first issue to investigate why this is occurring as GIFs should render as animated

keybreak commented 7 months ago

@KeeJef Yeah that's pretty weird, btw it animates in context of same gifs opened in lightbox, so it's only chat

@KeeJef Took a look at this issue and seems to be a more complex issue than just enabling autoPlay for GIF message types. We're currently generating a random src, so in context we can't tell what type of image the media is, without knowing, I can't set a condition for autoplay to be enabled (or to disabled the disabling of autoplay). Probably going to take longer than just the day that I've assigned to it. (Should probably put this into the backlog for further investigation)
