Detect and parse 3rd party links like twitter, youtube etc.
We would like to see 3rd party links parsed, so a youtube link would provide a preview, a twitter link would show the tweet, an image posted from dropbox would provide a preview image.

provide a native Go binary
For the convenience of not having to resort to docker in environments where nginx / postgresql / node.js may already be running or deploying docker is not an option.
Ideally, all platforms officially supported by Go but Linux & Mac OS X would be good to start2 votesEach month on the 16th binaries of the latest stable release for Linux are available from http://www.mattermost.org/download/, there are an array of install guides available as well: http://www.mattermost.org/installation/
While Mac OS X is not currently supported, binaries are, so we’re marking this ticket complete and would ask your help adding a new ticket for Mac OS X binaries if you feel it’s priority?

Support OpenID Connect
I've been waiting for a project like Mattermost for a while, so thanks!
I would love it if you would add support for account registration/signin via OpenID Connect. I'd like to set up a Mattermost server for my community, but we use OpenID Connect to add SSO to everything.
264 votesThank you for nominating the feature! It is now available in Mattermost v5.33 (Enterprise E20 and Mattermost Cloud Professional). Would anyone like to help re-tweet the announcement? https://twitter.com/Mattermost/status/1372270097012826114

Auto focus cursor to message typing
when switching a channel or private group or individual, it would be nice if the cursor focus is defaulted to "Write a message" text box.
We have to click second time to type the message..9 votesNow on master, available in Mattermost v1.2 on Nov 16

add latex support
For any deployment in a math-using organization or a research group, latex support is a killer feature. To the best of my knowledge, no native support exists in the competitor tools, and Slack has a rather cumbersome "translator bot" https://github.com/colbygk/mathslax. On the other hand, combining mathjax or katex with marked seems relatively common (e.g. https://github.com/ForbesLindesay/supermarked).

Add Inline URL Previews
Add auto-generated previews when a link is posted, showing the page title and a few lines of text.

Add a search filter to the "More Channels" list
It might be very inconvenient to search through every channels name/description manually. A text search on this fields to find a channel will do the job.
40 votesThis feature is complete and will be included in the Nov 16th, v3.5.0 release of Mattermost!

Change favicon for new notifications
There is currently support for new notifications via the Notifications API. However, once this notification disappears there are no indications that anything has changed. It would be helpful to change the favicon to indicate when a new, unread message/post has been received. This feature is found in Slack/WhatsApp/Messager currently work.
3 votesThe favicon should change to red, and a the browser tab shows a * to indicate unread messages and a number in brackets to indicate mentions. (Added in v1.2.1)

Add title/summary line for YouTube previews
Currently, configuring the YouTube API key will allow you to include previews of the video but will not include any form of context - the user must provide this. It would be good to include the title and brief summary of the video in each post, as seen when you share a video from the Android YouTube app to Hangouts etc.

Add support for sending message to multiple users without creating a channel/group
Sometimes you need to send message to an intersection of ppl groups or just part of a group. Right now one has to create a channel/group with the people you need and post there. Everytime for every different group of people. The feature could work pretty much like private messages, just allow to multi-select the users before sending the message
83 votesThanks for supporting the feature idea for better multi-user direct messaging – we’ve added group messaging available in Mattermost 3.7 to make it easier to start quick, easy chats.
