Make it so GIF files can play.
It would be good if GIF files can play in online presentations.

Thank you for your feature request! We are excited to announce that animated gif files can now playback in slide show in PowerPoint Online!
To give it a try, you may add your animated gif file to a presentation via “Insert → Picture”, and then present your slide via “View → From Current Slide” (or, “From Beginning”, if you prefer). The animated gif should play in your presentation now!
Enjoy, and please keep voting on the features in your wish list :)
Thanks!
PowerPoint Team

Animated gif doesn't work. I tried drag&drop as well as insert as picture. IT shows first image of the gif but is not moving forward. Gif is 20MB.

Just adding to the voices saying that this doesn't work. One of the gifs work online in Onedrive, the others don't. I have tried re-uploading and viewing in slideshow view but only the one gif works.

I am viewing a presentation created off line, via online PP. Animated GIF's are seen as static images.
NOT GOOD.
