Adding Animated GIFs to Answers

You can add Animated GIFs from Giphy's Animated library to add more dynamic to your Multiple Choice Answer options. With just a few clicks, you can add:

• A hilarious meme
• A famous scene from a movie
• An animated celebrity or political figure
• Cartoons from famous movies (e.g. Elsa from Frozen)

To add a GIF, you can first navigate to the Experience Dashboard. Next, go to the blue Questions tab, and select the question tab of the question you would like to add a GIF. Look for the camera icon located right underneath the Edit button to the right of each answer option.

Choosing a GIF

Once you click on the camera icon, a blue pop-up box with a search bar and examples of animated GIFs will display. You can either choose one of the trending GIFs or search for a particular one. For this example, we are searching for "Disney characters" GIFs to add to our trivia question.

Once you've selected your desired GIFs, they will automatically be added to the specified answer options on the Questions tab. Added GIFs will display to the left of the answer choices on the Presentation View and under the question's text on the Participant View.

Removing an Answer's Text Label

If you do not wish to display any text for your Answer Image options, you can remove the labels for your answer options by clearing out any text from the answer option's text field. First, click on the answer option's text field directly or click on the blue Edit button with a pencil icon to bring down the answer option's Edit Panel. Next, highlight all of the answer text.

Next, delete the text content by pressing the Backspace or Delete key on your keyboard to remove the text. Finally, click on the green Save button or simply press the Enter key to save your changes. Once you've cleared out the text field, three dashes (---) will appear to indicate that the answer option has no text label.

Viewing Animated GIF Answers on the Presentation View

Once you've successfully added your GIFs to all of the answer options, the GIFs will be displayed on the Presentation View whenever that particular question is displayed. GIFs are displayed within the various answer options for your entire crowd to see.

There are also specific design touches to beautifully and uniquely present your answer images even when Show Live Answer Results (A) and Show Correct Answer (C) are enabled.

Viewing GIF Answers on the Participant View

Your animated GIFs will also be shown on every participant's mobile device on the Participant View of your Poll or Trivia Game. In case you're not using the Presentation View, your participants will still see the GIFs on their devices, which will be shown under the question's text.
