Embed Calender, etc
It would be nice if there would be the possibility to create channels in which you could fix an embed content in the upper area. E.g. a Google calendar which shows the weekly overview or an external service for data storage etc..
Alternatively, a bot that writes the Daily Todos in a channel like slack would be possible: https://get.slack.help/hc/de/articles/206329808-Google-Kalender-f%C3%BCr-Slack

Improve the UX of the very first screen
The first impressions of an app are critical. This is the screenshot that I have when I have first installed the Matermost desktop client on Ubuntu. I think it will be the same for all platforms:
Almost everything on this screen is unfriendly to a new user especially a non-technical user.
1. The title
It just says: 'Add Server'. Nothing like 'Hi!' or 'Welcome to Mattermost!' or anything that displays some kind of enthusiasm for welcoming the user. This is where Slack shines - friendly, quirky (perhaps later annoying) messages.
2. Server Display Name
Even as a fairly technical…

Enable different spellchecking languages for each server
I switch between a German and English server a lot and one of them always has all of my messages underlined red, so being able to set the language on a per server basis would be great!

Push-to-Talk
While "texting", I would like to be able to transmit an ad hoc sound bite, so that I can quickly verbalize something without having to start a call session - not store-and-forward, but immediate live voice, Star Trek comm badge style.
I'm glad I ran into you guys in Punta Cana!

Add download button for code block
When someone add code block using ``` add download option for that code block. Perfect option are download that code with automatically added extension from Syntax Highlighting (if used, if not .txt).
For example: download all code block with .sh extension. That option can be on three dots **, as delete option.4 votes -
Make search work as it should.
Currently, search is horribly broken for technical conversations. For example, given a post which contains a log message, such as:
PROBLEM srvnagios at 10.4.1.74/MYSQL_threads-connected is WARNINGA search for MYSQL will not show this as a result. This is, certainly, just an example and it's been relayed that this is by design due to a lack of support for preceding wildcards (which shouldn't be needed anyway). Simply typing MYSQL in the text box should return any string that contains MYSQL or mysql.

Private metadata on mobile notifications
My organization is using Mattermost heavily, and we'd like to receive mobile notifications to make it more useful. However, currently Mattermost shares a lot of metadata with Apple's and Google's servers:
This is preventing us from enabling notifications.
I'd like to suggest that you treat the Apple and Google push notification services just as a "wake up" signal, without including user ID, team ID, etc. The mobile app would then connect (via TLS) to its server, download any new messages, and generate local notifications based on those.
I recently spoke with someone on the Mattermost team who suggested that…

Linux desktop app: start hidden in tray without creating window itself
Instead of creating the application and minimizing it application start must be done without creating window itself.
Lack of this option I have discussed here https://forum.mattermost.org/t/solved-linux-mattermost-desktop-start-minimized-from-command-line/6321/18

Support ip and mac text search
The docs explains that:
"IP addresses, for example 10.100.200.101, do not return results."
(https://docs.mattermost.com/help/getting-started/searching.html#hashtags)I would like to be able to search on ip-strings from my messages.

Enable pasting images into text bar for the iOS app.
Right now you cannot paste images into the text bar with the iOS app. This makes it difficult to share images by copying and pasting rather than saving and inserting. If I have an image in my clipboard, I would like to be able to long press in the text entry bar to trigger the paste button. This would then add the image to the text where I could review and either send or remove it.

Add context menu for messages on desktop client
The same menu that shows when clicking the "..." icon to the right, including reactions and reply, should appear when right-clicking on any given message.
It is a major usability inconvenient when using a large screen, to have to move the mouse all the way to the right edge of the screen in order to click that.

Show nicknames on each line while in compact mode
There should be an option to show the nickname on each line, when using compact mode. As a long-time IRC user, I expect to have the name repeated on each line.
This is specially annoying when the "New Messages" marker shows, where it should ALWAYS show the name in the line following the marker.20 votes -
Make emoji replacement a separate option from the rest of post formatting
I consider it unacceptable that I can't choose to disable having my words replaced with emoji, without also having to give up on EVERY SINGLE post formatting feature. I want to be able to use post formatting, just NOT have any emoji appear without me explicitly choosing to insert them.

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.

Set user position when user create, in Command Line Tools
The option 'user create' in the Command Line Tools is email, firstname, lastname, locale, nickname, password, username, system_admin. There is no "position".
I would like an option to set "position".1 vote -

Allow resizing and hiding of sidebar
It would be nice to be able to click/drag the sidebar (where channels are) and resize it/ hide it if desired.
Resizing it and having a channel name abbreviated with ... could make sense;
ex: Town Square once it starts getting cut off would become Tow... (depending on how small you make the sidebar). Then if you go over far enough it snaps into a hidden position

rename flag post to bookmarked post
Users seem to expect that "Flag post" means "Report post" and do not think of it as a way to bookmark posts.
Especially as in the web-app "flag post" is not displayed along the other post-actions, but instead by the side of the posting username.
I already filed that as a github issue: https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server/issues/9990
