New Fonts, Captions and GIF Support Come to Web Stories for WordPress

Web Stories for WordPress 1.1 is the first major update after the initial stable release and includes three big updates:

• GIFs built-in, courtesy of Tenor ( PS: they use high performance video instead of the GIF format behind the scenes to make sure stories load quickly.)
• On the text tab, you’ll now find a list of high quality text sets created specifically for editorial use-cases.
• Video caption support for improved SEO + A11Y

FYI: One of the coolest behind-the-scenes optimizations is that we don't actually use the GIF format for GIFs, and instead use high performance video (like Twitter!) https://t.co/eT9Wy26p1X
