Gif posting on LinkedIn and Facebook

SOLVE

Hi community. Recently I scheduled social posts on our company Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn profiles in HubSpot that included a gif. When previewing in the HubSpot tool, the gif appeared to be working as expected. It was not until after we published to our profiles that we noticed the gif was frozen on both Facebook and LinkedIn.

 

I think it would be useful when uploading a gif to Facebook and LinkedIn posts if the tool flagged a warning letting us know of the limitations when posting with gifs. It was quite a big mistake we were lucky to catch and fix by reposting directly to the platforms instead of through HubSpot.

Wanted to follow up to this thread as we posted a .gif today to Twitter and it did not display motion.

I'm having the same issue (Twitter & LinkedIn). Had to delete and post through the platforms themselves.

Thank you for the head's up - we are creating gifs and will have to post natively!
