Does Giphypress work on blog posts on LinkedIn?

First—the Giphypress plug-in looks awesome. I use giphy all the time. Looking forward to integrating fun giphs into my blog posts.

Question 1: Does using Giphypress work cleanly on platforms other than my own blog and Facebook like LinkedIn and Medium, for example? I post articles on LinkedIn and Medium as well and would love for Giphypress to work “cleanly” on those platforms as well.

Question 2: Can I hyperlink a gif from Giphypress into a word or a block of text? In other words, instead of embedding the gif itself and having the gif constantly looping in the body of a blog post, can I hyperlink some text like “click here”, for example, and have the gif repeating once the reader clicks on the “click here” hyperlinked text?

Sorry, if #2 is a super basic question, but I could and would use Giphypress for both occasions.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.
