Implement custom team shortnames
Currently the team list shows the first two letters of the team name, if no custom icon is provided. It would be great if these two letters could be configured, so that they can be different from the first two letters of the team name.

Make the hosting application detect the white-window crash state, and automatically reload.
Summary
We apparenlty have a server issue causing the Mattermost window to go white with no activity on my behalf. View->Refresh recovers it, but how come I have to do that manually?
Steps to reproduce
version 4.2.0 on Linux.
- Log in and leave it until it goes white - roughly once or twice most days, some days not at all.
Expected behavior
It should detect that it's gone white, create some log bundle for creating issues here, and then refresh itself (with perhaps exponential throttling so it doesn't end up in a wild refresh loop if things are really wrong…

have system tray icon indicate when not logged in
The system tray icon is white when I am caught up on reading. It turns amber or red when I have messages to read or direct messages. But it was white all morning. I was curious why everyone was so quiet, but didn't look. Then I went to direct message someone and saw I wasn't even logged in.
Feature suggestion: system tray icon indicate when not logged in.

Interface changes for view users present in channel and their status
We all know that the Mattermost interface shows the Channel names in the left sidebar. We have been thinking that the users in that channel should be listed in the left sidebar under that particular channel name with an Expand/Collapse icon/button. If we expand, we should know the user’s status as offline/available, etc.

File upload - Opens a modal where user can enter message to be displayed along with image.
File upload should trigger a modal to be shown in which user can add more files and also enter corresponding text against the image upload.
I would like to help in implementing this feature.1 vote -
Better Upgrade Notification for Old Desktop App
As of now, we do not have a clear warning message to indicate that a desktop client has compatibility issue (old version) with the latest Mattermost Server version.
it will be a good idea to have a message (pop up) that detects the desktop client version and remind them to upgrade it to the latest version if it is at least 1.x version behind the current one.

Enable a setting to allow sound alerts on a channel basis
I love that I can get notified when there is a post with a sound. But we have a community channel that a huge number of people belong to where things are discussed that I'm not interested in. I was added to the channel by my boss, and think it would be rude to disconnect. But if I could just turn off the notifications for that channel then I wouldn't be so distracted looking at many many notifications that have nothing to do with me and my work. Thanks for letting us make suggestions to make Matermost even better! Our…

Make history of last channels with part of last message on CTRL+K window
Make history of last channels with part of last message on CTRL+K window. Because when you have many chat channels, it becomes difficult to navigate between them and remember where was your last important conversation.

Using Mattermost as my only chat client.
I like Mattermost client, it's way better than anything else out there.
I want to manage my Facebook messages inside Mattermost client, and I want to connect to an IRC which has nothing to do with my corporation.So I want to mess my private life with work, but I would be very happy about this.
There were trials, for example, libpurple with Pidgin chat client. But Pidgin is like using windows live messenger in 2020.
I know Facebook Messenger has no public protocol for that, so I'm not requesting to implement that, but provide, for example, IRC, libpurple protocols…

Have less subtle new message alerts in the Notification Area
So i have the MatterMost app on Windows. I dislike clutter on my taskbar and having too many windows open, so I have it minimised to a notification area icon most of the time.
The notification area icon looks nice, it's little a white circle inside a circle, and the colour and design matches various other Windows 10 taskbar icons. Very neat and tidy.
However, I think that this aesthetic is not as important as knowing that I have a new message.
Currently when I get a new message and Mattermost is minimised to notification area, a small red dot…

Snooze for channel notifications
I don't want to miss when my team is posting comments on our channel but I also don't want to be be notified every few seconds when things pick up. It would be nice if I could receive a notification and am then aware things being said but I could go in and select a snooze option. Then for the next 15 minutes I don't get distracted for every posting and can choose where my attention is.

Unread count location in GUI
Unread count should be displayed on the far left of each channel.
As it sits today, the count is on the far right. For channels with long names or multiple members, you can't actually see the unread count, which makes it useless. In addition, just bolding the channel name is not very easy to see/discern.

Allow users to choose the Audio device for notifications, including 'All Devices'
In the desktop app, the user is able to select which windows audio device, or All Devices, is used for notification. The option to follow the OS' current selection, or override with your own selection. Sometimes when using the headset as the default OS output device, it would be nice for alerts to be played on the external speakers and/or headset, as chosen by the user

Synchronise drafts between (mobile and desktop) clients
I currently use Mattermost from the web client and an iPhone. It would be great if draft messages were synchronised between the different clients.
This is not something that sounds particularly useful in the abstract, but it is a feature of Telegram and I found I would often write half a message and then remember that I had a relevant link or similar on a different platform, so want to continue the message where I could copy-paste that link. Now that we have switched to using Mattermost, I am missing it.

Sort users by last name in private chat list
In my opinion, it is very usefull to sort users by their last name. Now they are sorted by first name and it is very annoying. We have more people with same forename but fewer with same last name. It is more logical to sort them alpaphetically by last name than forename.

Mute channel categories
For example I have categories for different projects, would be great to mute all of a project's channels while I'm focussing on a different one.

Add filter to show only channels with unread messages (or recent activity)
I like Mattermost but frequently the list of collaborators gets long and I have to scroll between active chats.
I think a filter feature would be useful to show only certain chats, e.g.
- channels with unread messages
- filter by textCombined with "pinned channels" this would help to focus on the active stuff even without giving Mattermost an entire (large) screen.
