If you are one of those people capable of communicating with GIFs, it will not be necessary to explain what Giphy is. If on the contrary it is not so, in Giphy you will find a wide repertoire of animated images and some other curiosity. Well, from now on you can also find videos through its newly launched Giphy Video.
Giphy Video, memes in fragments of 15 seconds
Giphy is one of those websites or platforms that not everyone understands. There, what you are going to find are GIFs, memes and other content and curiosities from the current internet. Well, with the idea to continue advancing and maintain that reference web position for all lovers of this type of content, now go and launch Giphy Video .
Giphy Video is the new platform within Giphy. A service that allows sharing videos of short duration. The idea is that they are 15 seconds maximum , although there are some of up to 30 seconds. Of course, it seems that at the moment only some profiles can upload these videos.
A kind of agreement with some brands or channels such as BBC America, Marshmello, Chicago Bulls or Last Christmas … and in their current videos you see small fragments of content generated by them such as interviews, music videos and some television series.

This contact with the video instead of GIFs is not new to the platform. Already in 2018 he took advantage of his Giphy Film Fest to publish a hundred videos of his participants. Now let’s say that it materializes a little that same idea that allows or is based on the same purpose of the GIFs: allow to tell or express some idea, reaction, something funny or anything else that comes to mind quickly and directly. Of course, here with the advantage of being able to have the strength of having audio.
So, from now on, when you access Giphy you will not only find the classic GIFs, also images with memes and some other curiosity more like the ones we have already commented here: Giphy Arcade.
Giphy Arcade allows you to create very simple videogames based on these elements that are part of the internet culture: memes. So, do not expect quality games, but very crazy and fun things. As we mentioned at the time, it could have a lot of potential but also be a real black hole for productivity.
If you want to share any of these videos of Giphy you just have to go to the web , select the one that interests you and then copy the link it gives. At the moment there is no option to embed the video on a website, for example. So there are some doubts about how it will be its evolution and reception by users.
It may be successful and allow you to take much more traction or pass without penalty or glory and just abandoned, relegated to the last tab of the page or directly removed. But that will be over time as we will see. For now it seems interesting, although it would also be necessary for any user to take advantage of the platform and upload their own short videos.
