Last updated: August 14, 2025

Set your Ambition GIF

Users with "Users: Edit - Can Edit Self" permission will be able to set/edit their GIF.

A custom GIF adds extra personalization to your profile image, presence on leaderboards, and any Slack or Microsoft Teams workflows that are recognizing you!

If a GIF is set, it will reveal itself:

  • When your profile image is hovered over on in-product leaderboard.

  • On in-product leaderboards or card style TV leaderboards when you're in the Top 3.

  • When you are in 1st place within an Ambition competition, your GIF will appear in the competition interface as well as a competition TV slide if applicable.

  • If your organization uses our Slack, Microsoft Teams, or Zoom Integration, this GIF will be displayed within Slack, MS Teams, or Zoom Workflows you initiate.

    • If an employee does not have a GIF set, one of GIFs from the GIF Library will display.
