Remind me Later
Slack offers a very cool possibility: you can ask the bot to remind you of a message after some time.
This is extremely useful when you post a message which requires some reaction by some other users - if (unfortunately) no reaction comes, it is very easy to forget about the question, which will not happen if you set a reminder!
That would be a very nice feature to add to mattermost
681 votesGreat news, Mattermosters! The "Remind Me Later" feature has been integrated into the core product. You can learn all about it from Andrew Zigler, our Developer Advocate, in his latest video from "The Feature Feature" series.

Confirm with ping warning before sending (at)all (at)everyone (at)here (at)channel mentions
Notifications are challenging, and a common source of friction seems to be "hey, you triggered a notification I didn't want by saying (at)all".
Slack handles this nicely: they intercept the message before send, and advise the user of the outcome.
By using (at)all, you are about to notify 123 people in 12 timezones. Are you sure? [edit message] [send now]

Eliminate 4000 character per message (message length)
Currently I can't create messages with more than 4000 characters. This limit should be removed.
158 votesThank you for nominating the feature! It is now available in Mattermost 5.0!
New installs of Mattermost v5.0 and later allow up to 16383 characters per post. Instances of Mattermost installed earlier than v5.0 will need to update to v5.0 or later and then run a manual database migration in order to utilize the higher character limit. This migration can be slow for large Posts tables, so it’s best to schedule this during off-peak hours. See important upgrade notes (https://docs.mattermost.com/administration/important-upgrade-notes.html) for more details.
To migrate a MySQL database, connect to your database and run the following:
ALTER TABLE Posts MODIFY COLUMN Message TEXT;
To migrate a PostgreSQL database, connect to your database and run the following:
ALTER TABLE Posts ALTER COLUMN Message TYPE VARCHAR;
Restart your Mattermost instances.

More robust CLI utility
My shop is very Linux and command line heavy. We would like to see the [install dir]/bin/platfrom utility expanded to include more features, which can then be scripted. The first such feature we would like to see would be the ability to list users from the utility.
45 votesThis use is resolved with our new mmctl CLI utility tool. You can learn more at https://docs.mattermost.com/administration/mmctl-cli-tool.html
The utility tool is also open sourced for anyone who would like to contribute more features to it: https://github.com/mattermost/mmctl
Thank you everyone who upvoted and participated to this feature proposal!

Member list on side of chat window w/ status indicator
Show a member list on the side of the chat window listing all the users that are in the current room, sorted by status and then name (so that logged out users are at the bottom).
This seems critical to communication .. who's in the room, who's online, who am I talking to, am I in the right room before typing @everyone, etc. At a glance. The little member button with drop down is insufficient especially in rooms with hundreds of people.
Screenshot from Slack: http://take.ms/YhtK8
19 votesThanks everyone for the feedback!
We’ve now added a status icon in the channel member list (clicking the member icon in the channel header) and sorted it by user status.
This improvement is supported in Mattermost v4.7.0 and later.

Actions and buttons to incoming webhooks
Hi,
it would be nice if incoming webhooks could support some kind of actions or buttons.
Ie: you use mattermost to recive alerts from a monitoriring system and you want to take action on this. Create a ticket, close the alert etc (linking to external systems/source)
There are similar functionality in Microsoft Teams and Slack.

Add sub-channels/groups or folders
With a lot of groups/channels ,the sidebar becomes very cluttered. A collapsable hierachy with sub-channels/groups would be great.
Or, easier to implement I guess, the ability to group channels/private groups into folders.

iOS and Android apps should allow multiple server connections
right now in the iOS app if you setup an instance I do not see a way to setup another one and seeing as how the current architecture of the product is, I would need multiple servers for my org's needs. the app should be able to handle it as well.
1,175 votesThe Mobile v2.0 beta featuring multi-server support is now live!
Our most-requested mobile feature ever is now live via the Mobile v2.0 beta - thanks to everyone who has upvoted this feature! Users must opt-in to become testers via Testflight (iOS) or Google Play (Android) to download the “Mattermost Beta” app. Please note that this is a separate app from the production “Mattermost” app that exists in the app stores today, meaning you can use both at the same time.
Take a look at our recent blog post for full instructions on how to join the beta program, and feel free to provide any feedback you have directly in the feature channel.

Sort channel when switching with ctrl/cmd+k by unread message
Coming from Slack, I was used to switch channel with ctrl/cmd+k. Mattermost feature for that is a little less performant because autosuggestion is sorted alphabetically. In slack, channel with unread message come first which make easier to switch to a channel where a message was just post.
25 votesThanks Martin and everyone else for contributing to this suggestion!
When you now first open the channel switcher via CMD/CTRL+K, the unread channels are listed first.
This is supported in Mattermost 4.9 and later.

Crtl+K CMD+K searching thru channels
After realization of idea https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/17042614-crtl-k-cmd-k-faster-jumping-to-the-channel (it's great, thanks!) the new idea is to allow user to find channels from 'more channels' using ctrl+K or CMD+K shortcut.
It'll be very useful to find channels where i'm not in but they are somewhere.
Right now if channel is not on my channel list the search tool won't find it and there is a problem - users starting to make a copies of the same threads29 votesThis feature is complete. Use “CTRL /” for a list of keyboard shortcuts available.

936 votesIntroducing Voice Calling and Screen Sharing in Channels!
Thanks to everyone who has upvoted this feature. We're excited to announce voice calling and screen sharing is available in beta with Mattermost v7.0. Whether it's a quick call for when something is easier to talk through than type out, recurring office hours, a timely screen share to demo something, or a several day war room discussion to fix a critical issue - there's tons great use cases for voice calls in Mattermost that don't require leaving the ecosystem.
Interested in trying it out? You'll need to upgrade to Mattermost v7.0 and as a beta feature, it must be enabled by your server's System Administrator. You can learn more in our release blog, and can direct any feedback or questions to feature channel.
