Allow GIFs in Slack

Messages in Slack can include animated GIFs that add a fun, visual element to your conversations. When you allow GIFs in Slack, members will be able to search for and select GIFs when composing a message. 

Note: Disabling GIFs in Slack will remove the GIF picker from the message field, but won't prevent members from uploading GIFs found elsewhere.
