Allow Migrating Auth Provider to OpenID
Currently, only migration to SAML and LDAP is supported via the
mmctl user migrate-authcommand. It would be great to have openid as an option too.My current Enterprise setup uses Gitlab SSO, however I'd like to migrate all user authentication to Keycloak OIDC, but unable to do so due to this shortcoming. While hooking up Mattermost to Keycloak works, it refuses login as identities overlap in Gitlab and Keycloak. Therefore
mmctl user migrate-authshould be able to update the Mattermost Postgres to change auth providers to openid/oidc.3 votes -
Show participant count for group messages in the Forward Message dialog
In the channel sidebar, group message conversations display the participant count, excluding the current user. This makes it easier to distinguish group messages with similar or overlapping participant lists.
However, in the Forward Message dialog, group message conversations are shown with the same generic “G” icon and do not display the participant count. When there are multiple group messages with similar members, this makes it harder to identify the intended destination at a glance.
I suggest showing the participant count for group messages in the Forward Message dialog as well, consistent with the channel sidebar.
This would improve consistency across…

Add Emoji from Unicode 14.0 onwards
The emoji picker seems to be missing all emoji added since Unicode 14. For example:
Unicode 14 added 🫡 Saluting Face and 🫠 Melting Face.
Unicode 15 added 🫨 Shaking Face and 🩷 Pink Heart.
Unicode 16 added Face with Bags Under Eyes and Root Vegetable.
Unicode 16 added Distorted Face and Fight Cloud.
None of these show up in the emoji picker.

User defined default for schedule send time.
Every day I schedule send messages for the same time. Once I schedule one it remembers my preference. But then it forgets it for the next day and I have to "choose custom time". Allow the user to define their suggested schedule send times.

Custom slash commands that get passed as message
We should have the option to set custom slash commands as a passable message. If an AI agent bot is doing bad things, they need to be stopped. Typing /stop does nothing until I find the tiny link at the bottom and approve it to be sent. If you do not allow disabling of the interception, there needs to be a way to add those as custom slash commands that are sent as pain text. Requiring firewall opening, open access to the internet to an AI agent is just a bad option.

Ability to limit Custom Emojis for Guest Accounts
Custom Emojis normally are a byproduct of the culture within the company. This can be inside jokes, meme culture, etc that the culture of the company dictates. Some emojis could be made from colleagues who agree to it within a company setting but not outside the company itself.
Since you can invite Guests to the Mattermost server there should be a setting that allows or disallows Guests from seeing custom emojis.
- A option in the Guest Access portion called 'View Custom Emojis as a Guests' (True/False)
- When true, guest accounts have access to custom emojis
- When false, guests only see…

Introduce Video Calls
It would be great to include video calls to the normal calls, like in Teams, which also rings like a phone call when calling someone or video calling someone.

Title: Bring Reaction Menu closer to the message text on wide screens
Description:
Currently, the hover reaction menu is always pinned to the far right edge of the message container. On ultra-wide monitors or when using the "Full width" display setting, this creates a huge physical distance between the short message text (on the left) and the reaction buttons (on the far right).
This is exhausting for the user's eyes and requires excessive mouse movement for every single reaction.
Suggested Solution:
…Allow the reaction menu to float near the end of the message text if the message is short. Or,3 votes -

Desktop app was upgraded today to a new major version 6 -> all users was left out from the service and desktop asking the server details for re-login. Please, make the desktop app upgrade procedure in a way that never brakes the login / sessions for the user. This has happen every now and than with minor upgrades also. This issus is faced at least in Windows desktop app.

Hide Select button after emoji is chosen in Add Custom Emoji form
When adding a custom emoji, the Select button stays visible even after choosing an emoji image, which can confuse users.
To improve the experience, I suggest:
Replacing the “Select” button with "Change" and "Remove" buttons
Hiding the “Select” button while the Add Emoji request is submitting
This would make the UI clearer

Revert licence changes introduced in v11
As was described at forum: https://forum.mattermost.com/t/future-of-mattermost/25396 current direction of Mattermost will destroy community around product. The idea is to revert recent changes, that were introduced in v11 (it would be nice to keep gitlab SSO).

Show Emoji's in Recent Mentions Sidebar
I use Emoji Reactions to indicate to others if their messages have been actioned - usually a little green check mark.
If a message is for me specifically to action, I tend to save it and use that saved messages sidebar as a sort of "to-do" list. If I react to a message, that emoji shows up in my saved list and I can then make sure I un-save it.
This behaviour doesn't seem to be replicated in the Recent Mentions view. It would be good if that view included reaction emoji's, so I can quickly glance to see I've…

Boards roles: Editor has too many rights, Reader too few – need middle option
Currently, Mattermost Boards only provide three roles: Admin, Editor, and Reader.
Editors have full permissions over cards, including creating, editing, moving, and deleting cards, labels, and properties structure.
Readers can only view boards and cannot interact with cards at all.
This creates a gap: there is no role for users who should be able to move and update cards (for example, to progress tasks in a workflow) but should not be able to delete cards, labels, or properties.

Add the ability to create subchannels within existing channels
Feature Request:
Add the ability to create subchannels within existing channels to better organize conversations and topics within a team and break large channels into focused topics.Proposed Implementation: Follow the same pattern used by Posts with RootId. Add a ParentChannelId field to the Channel model that references the parent channel, enabling a single-level parent-child hierarchy. This mirrors how thread replies work - posts use RootId to reference their parent post, and we can apply the same approach to channels.

Dialogue sees input in real time
Live Input Visibility During Conversation
I want to develop an AI bot that can converse with users and help them complete tasks. During the conversation, I want to see the bot's real-time output, corresponding to the streaming output of the LLM. Currently, I have to wait for the LLM output to completely finish before sending a message to the user. This requires waiting.3 votes -
What Features Should I Check Before Buying a VCF to PST Converter for Bulk Contact Migration?
I’m planning to move a large set of VCF contacts to Outlook and want to choose the best tool. What key features should I look for before purchasing a VCF to PST Converter? Should it support batch import for VCF to Outlook, keep all contact details intact, and work offline without errors? Is there any difference in performance between free and paid versions? Also, does it matter if it supports all vCard versions like 2.1, 3.0, and 4.0?

The ability to favorite emoji and access them quickly.
The recently used emoji section is nice, but it's very frustrating when they disappear or reset every few months for whatever reason. Can we add a section for favorite emoji? It would even be more beneficial where the "recent emoji" section is. Maybe there's a way to integrate both in a way that are easily accessible?
In my position we work very fast, so it's integral to be able to react to certain posts in an efficient matter when you need to. This feature would be an amazing addition.
