Adding an animated gif into an email - not playing when sent

Posted on by LG-19061725-0 8
I've added an animated gif to an email I've designed. In the preview it plays beautifully. But when I send it out, the animation is gone - just showing the first frame. Is there a way to force the animation to play? Do I need to upload the image differently?

Thanks!

    I appreciate the link - but my gifs played on the test PCs when I built them in a different app, but not when I build them in Insight. Sorry - I'm sure it's something I'm doing, I'm just not sure what.
    Thanks!

    You may already have come across it, and checked - but just in case:-

    Our main audience is using Outlook 365 and it definitely isn't playing there. It plays on the Mac version of Outlook, but the PCs are a problem. I previously used salesforce for email creation, and the gifs played even for the PCs – not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Any and all ideas are very appreciated! Thanks!

    Have you tried testing across multiple emails clients? A mix of browser and desktop top.
     
    And are you experiencing the issue on all of them?
