Put a timer on Banners
We use time-sensitive banners to inform users of ongoing events. If we don't manually disable them, they will run past the event. Could we put an end time on banners, the way that there are end times on statuses?

Add options for date format display: eg "Monday June 10" instead of "June 10" as headline in channels
Make channels more scannable when catching up on large backlog of messages -- it would be easier to quickly understand if messages are grouped under on a channel included date name as well as month name and date numeral. So create options for format of date displayed within channels. Specifically to include day name.

Close dms directly when clicking to another area (settings opt-in)
Other messenger services offer a user setting where you can hide direct message instances from the left sidebar once you have clicked into it and then clicked to another dm or channel. It would appear again if the person sent you a new message. You can bypass this by pinning or favoriting that user so they always stay in the DM list.
I prefer this system so that the DM area acts as an 'inbox' only, where I can glance and see things that need my attention. Having 10-40 inactive entries is just clutter, esp. on smaller device screen heights…

Add markdown support to attachment.footer
Currently markdown supported on post.text and attachment.text. I suggest to add support markdown to attachment.footer. It would be useful for migration from slack, where some bots and serivces use attachment.footer for adding navigation URL. For example, Grafana alert manager.

Make text selectable in images
In macOS Monterey and later, you can select text in screenshots and other images in e.g. Preview.app. When people paste screenshots of user interfaces etc. on Mattermost, and I want to copy & paste some text from it, then I have to first right-click the image and select "Copy Image", then switch to Preview.app, paste the image there, and then select and copy, and switch back to Mattermost to paste the text. This requires more steps then necessary, and is not very discoverable, leading many to simply not know they can copy text from screenshots.
If one limits the feature…

Discard "New Messages" annotation by pressing Esc
The "New Messages" annotation stays on even when the chat continues/the message is answered. I would prefer if it disappears when I answer, or if that is on purpose to at least have the possibility to discard the annotation by pressing the Esc button.

Please, add custom notification sounds.
Now we have 6 built-in notification sounds, I and my team like none of them.
One has to disable notifications sounds instantly, because of the annoying bing and there is no option to change it to something more unobtrusive.

Control who's able to DM other members and who's not
Control the group members DM option with other members, maybe a new role that can only send messages in channels ?
This would be a great feature to increase security given some companies sensitive infos that shouldn't circulate around or just to stop any and all unneeded and unverified rumors from spreading privately3 votes -
Add a popup notification when someone calls you (using the new calls beta)
Currently, in the new calls (beta) in v7.0, when someone calls you, you get the same notification as you would get with a normal chat message. This does not really grab the attention of the receiver, who might think it's just a chat message notification or just miss it entirely due to the brevity of the notification, leaving the caller waiting indefinitely in an empty call.
Could the mattermost devs add an option to enable e.g. a popup window or a continuously ringing sound when someone calls you? This would greatly improve the usability of the call functionality. Currently, I…

Too many "image.png" files. Please make them identifiable.
Mattermost automatically stores all captured images as "image.png."
So, there are too many "image.png" files on all channels.If filename contains its datetime and the publisher's shortened ID like [Pete_230814-0848.png],
the user will be able to search the image file more easily.To be specific, it's a bit cumbersome to find a specific image file now.
Most people are seeking an image file directly from the recent file list through the view info icon(ⓘ) and voila, there're dozens of image.png files.
Although I've learned using following command works for that,
[:from:Somebody in:Somewhere image.png]
there's no guarantee of knowing the uploader's…3 votes -

Allow users to define their preferred language, and display it on their profile resume
When opening a conversation with a colleague you dont know in a worldwide company, it isnt possible to know what is their prefered language. As a result, all conversations start with so you prefer that language or that language ?
If preferred language gets added in users' profiles, and gets displayed when openint an empty private conversation, talking to colleagues you dont know will become less awkward

Display local time of person you're messaging above text box
Like slack has, would be better to display the local time of the person you're messaging, as we have people on our server from over 4 different time zones

Add shortcut to change server
It is really great to be able to use the same client for multiple servers (which is not possible on the mobile app)
It would be really awesome to be able to switch servers with a keyboard shortcut ! It is the last use of the mouse I still have in mattermost.

mention a channel with #
On different chat software you can mention a channel. For example: #test. If you click on the #test, you will go to that channel. I miss this feature in the app right now so I think this will be very useful.
