How to send GIFs on Google Chat

Google Chat is a new chat app from Google, which is set to replace the traditional Hangouts app in the coming months. Currently available only for G-Suite members, Google Chat builds on the Hangouts platform and brings a more fleshed out interface, advanced search options, and a host of features that work out best for companies around the world.
