Load a motion photo?

I have a photo created on a Google Pixel phone with the name MVIMG_20200304_232749.jpg (the bold part I believe indicates that this is a motion photo). So I’d like to know if is it possible and if so how do I load this motion photo onto a Connect post? Thank you for any help.

@AdamGT If you have already tried to import and motion phot in a connect post and it has not worked then I think it won’t work. The only way you can do this by converting the motion photo into a GIF. You can read How to export a GIF from a Motion Photo in Google Photos.

Thanks for your input @SaifIS .

Yes I did try and importing a motion photo doesn’t seem to work on Connect. However, thanks for your link. I converted the motion photo to a gif but then couldn’t compress it to below 3 MB so couldn’t load the gif onto Connect. Never mind.

@AdamGT I see. Then the only last thing you should try is hosting the image externally and insert here using an HTML tag. :slightly_smiling_face:
