> How do I embed GIFs that are uploaded by my own users in my forum?

I’m not completely sure about the details of this problem. When I

1. right click one of the images above
2. click “copy image”
3. Paste it into the editor I get:

Which looks like this in the editor

```plaintext

```

How are your users copying and pasting their gifs?

I expect this is currently not possible, and unlikely to be possible in the future. Gif and mp4 are two different things.

- .mp4 is considered to be a video type, just like .webm, .mpeg, .ogg
  - This means discourse will deliver anything with this file-type as a video, in a video window

- .gif is an “animated sequence of images”. Yes, that’s pretty much what a video is, gif is just a very specific way of delivering that content.
  - Consequently .gif will _not_ use a video player.

This is pretty much standard. Upload a file as a gif, it will act like a gif. Upload a file as a video format, it will act like a video.
