Feature to enable Auto theme switch based on MacOS theme
Introduce an "Auto mirror OS theme" toggle button in Mattermost Desktop for MacOS (and possibly Windows) client so it can mirror the MacOS theme setting (Settings > General > Appearance) Light and Dark automatically.
Many users would want to use dark themes for their apps to work at night, but Mattermost default theme is pretty bright in the dark.
Right now it should be a manual theme change to switch to the Mattermost dark theme. This would be a great step towards better user experience.

Visibility of the Pinned Post
Hello to all
The post pin option is very good, but it is better to be able to see the post I am pinning at the top of the channel.
Not that you have to click on the icon to see it
Because some channel users may not notice the icon and see the postAnd I think this can be done for all versions of different platforms

Image preview should honor exif orientation
Mattermost fetches images from a URL to that image, however it ignores the exif data. This results in the preview often being in the wrong orientation.

Chatting to Golang Bot through direct message
Hello, I have the golang bot implemented into a mattermost channel.
It would be helpful to have an option for users to ask the bot questions in a Direct message as opposed to just a public channel.
I feel that this would encourage users to use the bot more and help shy users as well. That way there can be some sort of privacy between users.
Also, a way to have a log for Admins to keep track of what questions are being asked will be helpful in developing the bot further.36 votes -
Support CAS integration (Central Authentication Service)
THe idea is to suppor CAS integration (Central Authentication Service), as Gitlab does for example. It's a SSO system.
CAS is used in many universities, and supporting it would favorize deployment of mattermost in such environments.

Allow interactive markdown components
Allow clickable markdown links to interact with the channel/app. Ideally bots or services posting markdown components could embed clickable links which could populate the users text input and/or automatically post an outgoing webhook message for the user.

User folders sorted by department or server group
I got asked by a colleague if it is possible to sort the Users because he had about 60+ Users in the Direct Messages section.
It would be nice if you can sort it by a specified department (or Position) or that you can create User groups (with specific permissions for example) and that they get sorted in categories like this.
An other way could be that everyone can create custom folders with users in it and can expand it if needed.

Switch usage for "Write a message..." vs "Add a comment..."
In our use case, most posts are intended as replies to a previous post. So it would make sense that the default main view holds single topic/discussion, and the text box at the bottom is for posting replies to that thread, and a List of available topics are shown on the side, where you also can post new topics.
This is effectively the opposite of how the UI is laid out now. The background for this request is that most users (myself included) miss to post a reply as a comment, and mess up the conversation history (even a lot…

Zoom - Automatically Generate a new meeting ID when hit the Zoom Button
We've noticed a subtle difference between the zoom integration under Slack vs under Mattermost.
With Slack creating a new zoom with the /zoom command created a brand new meeting id. With Mattemost creating a new zoom with the "Start Zoom Meeting Now" always creates a meeting based on the user's "Personal Meeting ID". i.e. With the recycled meeting id, anyone who know my Personal Meeting ID can hop onto any future zoom meetings I start. We had that accidentally happen this week.
Anyway we can get the the functionality implemented where a new zoom meeting id is generated everytime I…

Include of preview of message in each notification
Please add setting of notifications 'Include of preview of message in each notification'. This option is needed for personal data protection when you screen sharing with any application like skype.
On one of your site webpages it says that "Mattermost offers alternative ... to Slack’s SaaS-only workplace messaging service". In Slack's this option exists in Notifications settings.34 votes -

Ability to customize the site favicon
When a user interacts with several Mattermost instances having always the same favicon can get highly confusing.
With versions pre-3.0 it was fairly easy to directly change the favicon files on the installation. It looks way more complex since the 3.0 came out as the file names are no longer predictable

Allow users to give nicknames to other users. Similar to how Skype, Steam, etc allows you to rename a contact.
Allow users to provide local nicknames for other users as a username is sometimes ambiguous as to who the user actually is.

Add a file download progress bar
You constantly need to check Explorer to see if file has finished downloaded or not, very bothersome. A progress bar / download indicator will be very helpful.
33 votesThanks for the comments! Indeed, this feature proposal was for downloads, not uploads. Reopened with proper status.

Desktop: Auto-hide menubar on Linux
Most Electron apps on Linux have an option to autohide the menubar, typically in the View or Window menus. Mattermost would fit in better if it did, too.

Custom Status Scheduling
Many people are now doing a hybrid work from home schedule. For people with a predictable one, it would be nice create a schedule to change the status to working from home on certain days every week. This could still be overridden, of course, but it would help for people who forget to update their WFH status every morning.

API specification
Cross posted from GitHub issues: https://github.com/mattermost/platform/issues/69
I see that the code appears to be logically organised around a clean-looking API; I can go and read through the Go source and get to understand it, but it'd be better if there were a specification of that API clearly written somewhere for reference. As this is a developing project, it'd especially be useful to know what parts of the API are considered "stable".
Lets-Chat have an API spec which was invaluable to me in writing a Python API wrapper and I'd love to do the same for Mattermost. :)
