I am trying to post and automatic message in a Teams Group chat with a random GIF from my SharePoint library, but the GIFs always look like this:

I used this for reference: Send a random image or GIF with Power Automate – Rishona Elijah

This is the flow:

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

there are a few changes you need to do in the following steps to make it work for SharePoint hosted Gifs:

1. Add a Get file content using path with the following parameter in the file path: @{outputs('Select_Random')}

2. In your Compose action, add the following input:

TEST please select mute to ignore.
<img alt="gif" width="500" height="300" src="@{dataUri(outputs('Get_file_content_using_path')?['body'])}">

The rest of your flow stays unchanged. This uses a Teams/Graph-compatible URL that renders correctly.

Please note that Teams enforces a 28KB message payload limit. If your GIFs are large, embedding them via dataUri() may fail with a payload error. In that case, the alternative is to host your GIFs on a publicly accessible URL such as Azure Blob Storage, Giphy, etc. and use that directly as the src instead, as suggested in your reference.

Hope this helps!

You are correct, the GIF is too large.

Even if I embed it using Giphy, it just give me a link, no moving GIF:

Here's the code:

Hi,

Teams doesn't support iframes in message bodies, so the embed URL won't work. Use the direct media URL instead in an <img> tag:

Replace your code with:

TEST please select mute to ignore.
<img src="https://media.giphy.com/media/3oEjHKjVoNVsCeMoDe/giphy.gif" width="480" height="370">
