Add built-in Giphy GIF picker to desktop app
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It's a bit frustrating not being able to send GIFs directly from the desktop app. I always have to search for them on external websites, copy the link, and paste it manually.
Describe the solution you'd like I'd love to see a built-in GIF picker (like Giphy) integrated into the desktop app, similar to what many modern messaging apps already offer. The integration should allow users to search for and send animated GIFs quickly and intuitively.
Describe alternatives you've considered The only current workaround is manually finding GIFs on websites like Giphy or Tenor and pasting them into the app, which is time-consuming and not very user-friendly.
Additional context Adding a GIF picker would make communication more expressive and fun. It could also be useful to include a "recent" or "favorites" section for quick access to commonly used GIFs.
this is technically already available in the web client using giphy_integration: https://github.com/nextcloud/spreed/issues/12727
but currently not accessible in the native clients due to the limitation in the integration app
tecnicamente è già disponibile nel client web tramite giphy_integration: nextcloud/spreed#12727
ma attualmente non accessibile nei client nativi a causa della limitazione nell'app di integrazione
Thanks for the clarification!
Just wondering — is there any chance this feature could be made available in the desktop clients without relying entirely on the integration app on the server? I understand there are limitations, but from a user perspective (especially for less tech-savvy users like some of my colleagues), having a built-in GIF picker in the desktop app would be a big improvement. They’ve specifically asked for this feature, and it would really help make communication more fun and expressive 🙂
Thanks again for your work!
that too can be seen in the linked issue ;)
that said with the integration app installed on the server it does work for less tech-savvy users, it just needs to be fixed for the desktop client
