How to use GIFs in my event

Animated GIFs can be used as banners in your event to add a touch of movement and act as eye-catchers, and in feed posts, in particular for virtual events where attendees will be joining via the web app. 

GIFs are however not recommended for in-person events where attendees will be using the mobile app, as displaying them will put a strain on the device hardware and battery. 

They can be used as any page banner (custom page banner, session page banner, sponsor page banner, etc.), as a home feed banner, or even as a feed post, but need to follow the banners' recommended graphics resolutions. They need to kept as small as possible, especially when used in feeds. Please make sure that GIFs are less than 350 KB.

To create your animated GIFS, you can use online tools such as ezgif.com, which will help you resize the GIF to the correct resolution, and compress it to the best possible size.

To ensure that the animation runs smoothly, you may also wish to use the same image for the first and last frame.
