Description
Gifs from giphy (inserted with /giphy command) are .mp4 videos, which when played back, stops any music played with a background player in Android. That means that if a gif has been sent, every member of the chat will have his music stopped when reading the chat.
Even if it's a correct behavior for normal .mp4 videos, i believe videos from giphy should not interrupt background sound playing.
Android version : 9
Music player : Poweramp Pro or "Music" app
Keybase version : 4.7.2
Untested on iOS, but it might have the same behavior.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the /giphy playback behavior on Android 9 with a background music player, then trace the Android media playback path used for Giphy's .mp4 content. Done means opening a Giphy GIF in chat no longer interrupts background music while normal .mp4 video behavior remains unchanged.
