No, we currently have no plans to discontinue support for GIFs, and I don’t see that changing either.

WebM sadly is still not supported on smart Devices like your phone, tablet, or etc.
 
On the other hand pc’s can easily support and process the image format.
 
WebM is an open media file format designed for the web. WebM files consist of video streams compressed with the VP8 or VP9 video codec, audio streams compressed with the Vorbis or Opus audio codecs, and WebVTT text tracks. The WebM file structure is based on the Matroska media container.
 
WebM also said it has a smoother frames and higher quality than Gif.
 
Oh and thanks google.
 
give me a notice if i get the information wrong.

They do. Just that first party things (scenes straight from show) arent allowed to have sound. A fanvid webm can have sound.
 
I’ve been seeing some webm clips from the show with the exact same audio matching the scene,  
so I’m wondering if it’s permitted now?
 
An example (right-click and choose ‘unmute’):
 

 
If this is totally acceptable now, and not ‘sketchy’, I might consider uploading clips in webm too.
