Separation of sent and received chats
Hello friends
Annoying entersOne of the things that can greatly increase the beauty and efficiency of the program
Separation of sent and received messages
Like WhatsApp and Telegram messengers where the sent messages are displayed on the right and the received messages are displayed on the left
And the username is displayed on the same sidehttps://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server/issues/17432

Map Lync/Skype for Business user presence to Mattermost
Hi,
We use Lync/Skype for Business as the primary communications tool at my company, but for small project/team communications we use a self-hosted Mattermost server, because it's obviously 9000 times better than SFB.
However, Mattermost (especially the desktop client) does not integrate very well with Windows regarding the user's presence.
Short Scenario:
If I lock my computer, SFB immediately sets my presence toAway, meanwhile Mattermost doesn't.On the other way around, if I minimize the Mattermost Desktop client to the tray, and I have an other application running on full-screen, after a short period, Mattermost goes to mark…

Sounds that what you are experiencing is similar to this Help Wanted ticket: https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server/issues/7721
Would you be open to help contribute to it? If so, we’d be more than happy to guide you through the process. The change would be in our Desktop App which uses Javascript instead of Go.

Asynchronous uploads (that do not block chatting)
Right now, when you upload a larger sized file you are blocked from chatting until the upload finishes.
It would be nice if the upload is handled separately so you can continue sending new chats while the upload is processed. Slack does this too.

Add user profiles and text boxes
It would be great if there was a way to expand profiles to include boxes where users could host information. This might include: location, about me, skills, experience, links to external sites and portfolios, or active tasks engaged with. If there is already a way to do this it would be great to know. Thanks!

Restricted channels with a join policy
Currently all you can have in Mattermost is public channels (joinable by everyone in the team) and private channels (not visible in any listing, and you need to be added).
The problem is that sometimes you want to have a private discussion where e.g. everyone from the IT department is allowed to participate. Currently you would have to add your whole department to such a channel (which is spammy, especially since you cannot hide any channels from your sidebar without leaving them).
It would be nice if it was possible to mark a channel as restricted. Such a channel would…

Adjustable Email Notifications for only mentions or only direct messages
Currently Email Notifications are sent out on either a mention or a direct message. Our users asked for the feature to decide weather to have notifications only for mentions, only for DMs or for both.

Email notification for any activity (without mention)
Currently, the notification system allows:
- Getting browser desktop notification for any activity
- Getting email notification for mentions
I'd like to have the mix: get email notification for any activity when I'm not logged-in. Many systems allow this (eg. gitter's "You have unread messages" emails), but I couldn't find it in Mattermost.
Ideally, the system would :
- Wait a few minutes before sending the notification, to send a mail containing several messages at once.
- Send only one notification even if there are further messages, to avoid flooding the mailbox with tons of emails
This would be very useful to follow low…

System Administrator: Ability to Import Users via CSV / Excel File
While system administrator are limited to only have the following methods to create / import users:
* Local users: mattermost user create CLI, direct invite, team invite link
* External users: LDAP / AD / SAMLIt will be good to have the ability to use CSV or Excel file to bulk import the users with specific formatting especially if the organization has a lot of customers and is not utilizing AD / LDAP / SSO.

make administrators get a notification when new channels were created
When users create new channels, there currently seems to be no notification emails send to administrators neither when a new channel is added nor who this channel added. This prevents administrators from being informed proactively about misbehaviours of users (i.e. if users create non corporate/private information exchanges on the system). A moderator feature would be very appreciated to help the IT securing itself and not having to explain the CEO why there is a public channel for exchanging illegal content, for example.

Add ephemeral chats
Implement ephemeral chats. Useful for one-off topic discussions that may intersect users who do not all participate in a common room and for topics that don't fit existing rooms. There would be a simplified creation process (no topic, no purpose, invite users as the first action), generally more like Direct Messaging. It should also be possible to add/remove people from the conversation and promote it to a real room at some point. Maybe I just want to talk with a group of colleagues about dinner tonight...
Benefits:
- Quick
- No competition for room names
- Possibly allow them to…9 votes -
filter channels/users in the sidebar
It would be fantastic to have the option to search/filter in the sidebar.
In big organizations where you talk to many people, sometimes the sidebar gets enormous. A search field in top of the sidebar will allow to filter it and also search (when pressing Return)It "should" keep the headers (favorites, channels, users) to keep it simple.

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.

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.

User should be able to archive a thread
Summary (Feature Request)
As a Mattermost user (Manager/Admin of channel)
I would like to close some discussion which is not needed anymore in the main channel (have been resolved)
so that I can reduce the content noise in the channel content in the channel by displaying relevant content.
Observed behavior (that appears unintentional)
In any channel where there are a lot of people, there is always much noise. I would like to archive those threads which are not needed anymore and display the relevant content in the main view.
Usually, it might be discussions which end with some result/agreement, but…

Add an API for getting private channels
As a system admin using the API, it would be useful to get a list of private channels for a team.
Currently, one can get posts for private channels through the
channels/{channel_id}/postsAPI, but that assumes that the admin knows the channel_id. Finding that ID cannot be done through the API.Use case: for reporting purposes, we want to get the count of messages per private channel each month.

It would be great if the search for the field position was possible.
i can't find any persons in channel or in personal messages by Position.
For example i have 3 "web-developer" users, and 2 "c# developers", i can find then by FirstName, LastName, nickname but field "Position" is out of search.
It would be great if the search for the field position was possible.

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

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.
