imbed image / gif

I have a gif for the 'lair' in a beast game i'm playing, and I wanted to imbed it in my character bio. &nbsp;I hosted it somewhere else but it looks like the bio/description page is not html capable. Is there any way to insert a moving gif in to the bio? &nbsp;Or some other place other PCs can see? For example: &lt;div class='oembed external-link'&gt;&lt;a href='<a href="http://www.chessusa.com/mirrored-heart-final.gif'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div" rel="nofollow">http://www.chessusa.com/mirrored-heart-final.gif'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div</a>&gt; Thanks!

Gifs are not supported by roll20 officially, especially animated ones.

Ah. &nbsp;Thanks.

You can link to a moving gif in the chat using the markup: [alttext]( <a href="http://www.chessusa.com/mirrored-heart-final.gif" rel="nofollow">http://www.chessusa.com/mirrored-heart-final.gif</a>) WARNING: Putting lots of animated gifs in chat will start to degrade performance, particularly for players with older computers.&nbsp; see:&nbsp; <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Text_Chat#Basic_Formatting" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Text_Chat#Basic_Formatting</a>

I wonder if GIF's is one of the reasons my game's Chat Archive crashes some of the players computers. Thanks for the warning of that.

@gold Possibly. &nbsp;But the chat archive is pretty inefficient. It actually stores the full inline roll structure for every roll and does the expansion of all the rolls inline. &nbsp;It can easily be many megs of processing to do to display it, especially if you've been playing a long time.

Especially for text-only games, it can get huge fast. The last text-only game I ran, I never cleared the archive and I have it saved on my computer. The local resources are about 19.8MB on their own. And for about 90% of that campaign, you couldn't put images directly in the chat, either.
