Add emoji management via API
It would be nice to be able to add / remove custom emojis via API. Then it would be very simple to propose complete packs of custom emojis and apply them.

Allow message attachments to generate mentions
SUMMARY
Notifications are not being generated for user names in message attachments (in my case specifically in fields) that are generated via a webhook.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Create a new message containing attachments/fields via a web hook. Include the name of the user in the attachment field. The name will not be recognized and tagged.
EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR
Mattermost would recognize a user's name, as defined in their notification preferences, when mentioned in a message that has an attachment/fields. Notifications would be generated for the user the same as if they are mentioned in a regular message.

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.

Allow to create a private Slash commands (only available for one user)
It could be interesting to add per user slash command.
For example, I use an RSS integration which allow me to manage my RSS feeds from Mattermost with Slash commands. I would like to set this command as private, to avoid other user to manage my feeds.3 votes -

Add phone number in contact card & utilize tel: protocol handler for invoking call capability using Jabber or Lync soft phone
Add phone number in contact card and utilize tel: protocol handler for invoking call capability using Jabber or Lync soft phone. The following number format (tel://+442075613215) already gets enabled for click to call on MM app/web.

Add more colors of notification dots, and let users set a color for each channel
This will make MM much less distracting since it's easier to ignore chatter on "less important" channels.

100% Slack Compatible Webhooks
I would like Mattermost to be able to consume any Slack-compatible webhook. It is very frustrating that I have to build a tool to proxy webhooks from GitHub for example.

Show all threads in one place
Option to show all threads in which a user participates in one place. Ask from Startup School.
Note: By default mention notifications for threads aren't turned on, maybe we should default them to on to see to what extent this helps.

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.72 votes -
Provide Channel description in tooltip in the left panel
Provide Channel description in tooltip in the left panel
Currently, we need to go to the channel, then click on the little arrow, then View Info
Personally, I spent 5 minutes to find this kind of information when I was checking that I didn't miss something and it is not yet available somewhere easily

Give an option to make team invite links one-time-use
Give an option to make team invite links one-time-use. Reusable invite links (especially ones that aren't auto-regenerated at any point) leaves too much opportunity for unauthorized signups

possibility to re-link uploaded images
When you upload or drag'n'drop an image to mattermost, that image gains a new name that does not end with an image extension, thus if you try to "copy image location" or use the "copy public link" from mattermost their will give u a link that you can paste back to matter most to re-link the image in a preview mode.
A copy public link will look like:
And copy image location will look like:
https://pre-release.mattermost.com/api/v3/files/zkqjspdektrqjde9xqnp7ef1er/get_preview
As you can see neither end with a image extension and so if I simple paste it back in a message it will…

load to my last message
The idea is to have a link, "load to my last message", right beside "Load more messages", the goal of it is to "load all chat messages up to the last time I talked in that channel", this way rather than seeing messages backwards, I can just click it and read the channel in order from the time I left it. Seems like a rather simple addition.

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.

Team initials
Ability to change team initials / short name.
For example if your teams start with the same prefix, the initials are going to be the same for all of them.
Furthermore you may want to set it manually, or if the name is made of multiple words, use the first letter of each word as initials.
This is also related to https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/15465123-team-icon
Idea is to be able to differentiate teams easier :)
I also don't know about mobile apps, but in the web version on desktop the initials could potentially include up to 4 characters.

Team specific position
Sometimes we don't have the same position in different team. Maybe it would be interesting to be able to have different position depending on the team, and not one position per account.

Custom intro text for system, team and channels
Custom intro text for a system, team or channel, similar in set up to Custom Tutorial Text with markdown support and preview, that is displayed to a user when joining a specific system, team or channel, and the user needs to hit "Okay" to dismiss. The user should be able to find the message in the system, team or channel settings to review the info.
Requesting this because often organizations want to share more about the purpose of their Mattermost deployment, and include different links, e.g. link to naming conventions to use for channels, an internal user's guide to the…

allow users to 'follow' others to create a filtered feed view.
Currently we have an in-built equality of posts which can become inefficient with high volume.
Recognizing the importance of hubs in scale-free network growth, we could allow for a filtered view of the main town-hall feed, where you just saw the posts (and related threads) of those you choose to follow.
One could also toggle back to the unfiltered view, but allowing people to cluster could make high volume teams more manageable.
Unlike Facebook, the user would remain in control - with no algorithm and the ability to toggle back to the unfiltered view.
