Gifs Not supported?!? How do I take a Gif as an input and display it?

Unity Engine

Pretty much title, I have a project for a media company, they asked me to add an input for any gifs they would like and have it displayed on an object as an image or texture it doesn’t matter, but it must be a gif and it must be animated, I didn’t even have the forethought that unity doesn’t support gifs… so now what can I do? I thought about turning everything they send intro .mp4 and then setting it but that seems to be reaching the telephone on my right ear with my left hand.

Would appreciate your amazing insights

Unity doesn’t support gifs so the best you could do is probably taking the gif frames apart manually somehow and putting them in a sprite sheet or texture array, then playing them back.
