How do I add a moving image to my update. How can I personalize my page? Can I distinguish one update from another?

Users have the ability to insert a GIF (a short animated image) in an Update on the Today Page! This is a great way to personalize your LENS board and capture your team's attention. ⭐️

To add a gif to an update on the Today Page, we need to embed an iframe into the code. Let's break down the two steps: 1) find a GIF from giphy.com and 2) create the update in LENS

1) Find a GIF from giphy.com

  • navigate to giphy.com

  • use the search bar to find the perfect GIF

  • click <> embed

  • a window with iFrame text will pop up

  • copy the code to your clipboard (highlight, right click, "copy")

2) Create the Update in LENS

  • start by creating a new update (make sure it is pinned ✅ )

  • select the Three Dots icon (more misc)

  • select the <> Code View icon

  • paste in the code from your clipboard

  • click the <> Code View icon again to load the code

  • click SAVE!

⭐️ PRO TIP ⭐️
You can add text above or below the GIF to make the list completely your own!
