Team initials
Ability to change team initials / short name.
For example if your teams start with the same prefix, the initials are going to be the same for all of them.
Furthermore you may want to set it manually, or if the name is made of multiple words, use the first letter of each word as initials.
This is also related to https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/15465123-team-icon
Idea is to be able to differentiate teams easier :)
I also don't know about mobile apps, but in the web version on desktop the initials could potentially include up to 4 characters.

Team specific position
Sometimes we don't have the same position in different team. Maybe it would be interesting to be able to have different position depending on the team, and not one position per account.

EE: Legal notice presentation for system, team and channels
Similar to Custom intro text for systems, teams and channels (https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/18595492-custom-intro-text-for-system-team-and-channels) this EE feature would be to enable the presentation of legal notices, formatted in markdown, by clicking an "I agree" button, instead of a "I do not agree" button (which would deny access to the system, team or channel on which the legal agreement is attached.
There needs to be a PRINT button to print the agreement, and a DOWNLOAD button to download a copy as a text file (in markdown, which is readable).
A full text record of the agreement at the time of acceptance should…

Custom intro text for system, team and channels
Custom intro text for a system, team or channel, similar in set up to Custom Tutorial Text with markdown support and preview, that is displayed to a user when joining a specific system, team or channel, and the user needs to hit "Okay" to dismiss. The user should be able to find the message in the system, team or channel settings to review the info.
Requesting this because often organizations want to share more about the purpose of their Mattermost deployment, and include different links, e.g. link to naming conventions to use for channels, an internal user's guide to the…

allow users to 'follow' others to create a filtered feed view.
Currently we have an in-built equality of posts which can become inefficient with high volume.
Recognizing the importance of hubs in scale-free network growth, we could allow for a filtered view of the main town-hall feed, where you just saw the posts (and related threads) of those you choose to follow.
One could also toggle back to the unfiltered view, but allowing people to cluster could make high volume teams more manageable.
Unlike Facebook, the user would remain in control - with no algorithm and the ability to toggle back to the unfiltered view.

Teammate name display selections
Would it be possible to add custom selection of username, nickname and full name to teammate name display? This would make it possible to use combinations like John Doe (Johnny-boy) or John Doe (johnd).

Add option to set Avatar size
Currently the avatar size is around 32px.
My test users are hoping it could be bigger so as to recognize people easily.
I did a local test and increasing the size to 50px+ would not affect the layout and is indeed easier to find people.

Create an editable message ('wikipost')
Our team documents project features by posting and re-editing posts. (They can then be flagged, or in future, made sticky, to keep them at hand.)
What would be useful here is to make a post that I choose to allow others to edit, in a wiki or confluence-style.

Improve customization of push notification messages
Currently push notifications have very limited customizing potential. There is support to provide localized content, but the code assumes always prepends the sender's name to the notification text.

Show the channel the incoming webhook has been set to
Currently I cannot find a way to know for which channel has been configured an incoming webhook (in my case, for integration with GitLab).
In the "Integrations/Incoming Webhooks" section, just appear the name of the webhook and the webhook URL it self, without saying for which channel has been set, and the option of deleting it. And in the GitLab side there's no way to know for which channel will be triggered the hook.
This come become a problem when you have several webhooks and channels.

filter channels/users in the sidebar
It would be fantastic to have the option to search/filter in the sidebar.
In big organizations where you talk to many people, sometimes the sidebar gets enormous. A search field in top of the sidebar will allow to filter it and also search (when pressing Return)It "should" keep the headers (favorites, channels, users) to keep it simple.

List the 10 most recent channels/users in the Switch Channels view
Without typing anything, one should be able to select a previous user or channel from the Switch Channels view (Command+K). They should also be listed in chronological order (from most to least recent)

Away Status Configuration
Just to expand on the original idea located here:
https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/17128663-configurable-away-time
Auto-away should at least be configurable in terms of minutes, or an option should exist to disable it completely. These settings should exist per user, but I'm not sure how much value it would add if the administrator determines the configuration for the team.

open the emoji picker with typing ":", followed by pressing Tab
I'd really like to see the emoji picker that can be activated as described in the title, instead of the ":" followed by minimum of 2 characters as it is at the moment.
I'm aware of the full picker ticket https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/PLT-2354, but as i understand it doesn't include this feature.1 vote -
resize image upload
Fist important use of mattermost is sharing picture.
We need to upload a smarphone picture with a good resize for not explode server hard drive. (picture management is not easy with history)For example when we upload a picture, a menu ask:
Choose size upload:
- original size (~4mB)
- full hd (800 kB)
- 1024px (200 kB)
(we can use mozjpeg lib)Resize coulb be on the sever or on the app, but it's necessary.
This feature is not on slack and i don't understand WHY.

Add the option to increase font size
Currently the web interface has no option to increase the font size. This is plainly silly. Please fix this ASAP.
