Modify a user via CLI
Would be nice to have the ability to update/modify a user via the CLI. Similarly to create user, you are able to set their name, email, etc. It would be nice to be able modify those details of an existing user via the CLI or even UI. I've found some user's end up entering their names all lower case or some don't even enter their details.

channel profile images
Support avatar icons for channels.
it would be great if the service and apps provided a similar API and UX to allow profile images to be assigned and queried for a channel.
This might work similarly to what is in place for users, where the Mattermost API supports getting a profile image for a user, except this request would provide profile image by channel.47 votes -
emoji reaction keyboard shortcut
This was my most used shortcut in another messaging app that starts with an S and ends with an ack.
Also to then be able to select emoji with arrow keys and enter is crucial. Would even go a step beyond if shift enter allowed you to pick more than one emoji reaction! #Mindblown

Create an editable message ('wikipost')
Our team documents project features by posting and re-editing posts. (They can then be flagged, or in future, made sticky, to keep them at hand.)
What would be useful here is to make a post that I choose to allow others to edit, in a wiki or confluence-style.

Add the option to increase font size
Currently the web interface has no option to increase the font size. This is plainly silly. Please fix this ASAP.

hide offline contacts
It would be nice to have an option, that enables the user to hide contacts that are currently offline.
This would mainly apply to the "direct messages".
It is really annoying to search through a long list (~50) of contacts you often need to chat with, when about 50% are currently offline and are therefore of no interest at the moment.71 votes -
Add a Message of the Day feature for each channel
We have several teams at work and each channel in the team has a specific purpose. It would be ideal if we could set a time at which a recurring message of the day would be posted. We would include links to resources for the team as well as recent news for people who have been out of the office and are returning.
It would be like an extension to the header and purpose sections. Ideally tagging people would work such that some of the messages can act as daily reminders to everyone of the schedule.

Allow adding custom words to user and/or team dictionaries.
Words not in the stock dictionaries are always marked as errors; there's no way around it.

collapse [-] PUBLIC CHANNELS
We use the favorite channels and direct messages, and therefore would like to collapse the public channels. Then channels with unread messages would only be shown.

Add support for SQL Server
Most enterprises medium or larger have SQL Server licenses and supporting infrastructure (DBA team, servers, backup/recovery scripts, etc.) already established.
Support for SQL Server would be very helpful so we can leverage what we have in-house already.

Read Receipts: Implement a visual indication for messages if and when they have been read by other users of the channel
Sometimes one's wondering if a post has already been read by other users. I could image that a member list of the channel pops up when one is selecting the read status from the particular post menu ("[..]").
In private chats, a sinple check sign (similar to whatsapp) could signalize if a message had beend read by your counterpart.1,183 votesWe’ve opened a design ticket to start exploring this feature: https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/MM-36529
This will need feasibility explorations given performance concerns on the server-side. As a result, we may start by only offering read receipts in Direct Messages and Group Messages that have a maximum of 8 users.

Have "Unread" option showing all unread messages and notifications across all channels
Slack has something similar that shows above all channels. It makes it easy to browse through your unread messages without having to click each channel separately.

Visual effect to separate private chats from channels
I'd like to somehow tune the color scheme of the Mattermost to separate private chats from channels. First idea that I got my mind is that maybe there could be an option to set a different background color for private conversations?

Loop GIFs on mouseover
The GIF preview feature is great, but a channel full of looping gifs is visually distracting.
Discord's implementation of this functionality plays the GIF once, then repeats it on mouseover. This works really well and would be a nice polish to the current implementation.

I think this is different from

Which gives more detailed explanation at the ends.It is also a little different from

In that not requesting to do away with fences, just want the slack snippet feature.Thanks!

Allow webhooks to trigger other webhooks posts
From: https://github.com/mattermost/platform/issues/1901
Outgoing webhooks are not triggered by other webhooks posts. For example if bota posts "hello" on Town Square and botb is typically triggered by "hello", it will not be triggered.
If this was implemented, the danger is creating cycles unintentionally, so there should be a way to avoid that.

global/common channel across teams
Add the ability for teams to share "global" channels.
We have multiple teams but have a need for a common channel across all teams.

Server facilitated encryption of database contents
This feature proposal is for the ability to encrypt posts/direct messages in the database, with a server-side encryption of the database contents.
523 votesHey all, we’ve outlined available encryption options here: https://docs.mattermost.com/administration/encryption.html
Would love to hear feedback from everyone who contributed to this feature proposal!

Implement Automatic Right-To-Left (RTL)
Most popular text editors change the text direction automatically to RTL (Rgiht to Left) when you enter a text in RTL languages such as Persian, Arabic or Hebrew. If that was the case in the Mattermost, we (the RTL language speaking people!) could use Mattermost much more productively, and localization to Farsi, Arabic, etc was possible.
