make channel read-only for specific users (mute)
I'd like to have the ability to restrict users from writing in a channel without having to remove them altogether. Like muting them/making the channel read-only for them specifically.

Add shortcut to change server
It is really great to be able to use the same client for multiple servers (which is not possible on the mobile app)
It would be really awesome to be able to switch servers with a keyboard shortcut ! It is the last use of the mouse I still have in mattermost.

Would love to see .mov files viewable directly in Mattermost
I take videos with my iPhone and post them to MM, but no one can see them unless they download and convert them to an MP4. Would love to be able to them without that extra step.

Allow moving posts to, or between, threads
Currently, there is no way to move posts between threads. If you accidentally make a post not within a thread, or in the wrong thread, the only way to correct this is to delete the post and re-create it.
Even via the API, it only allows updating is pinned, message, has reactions, and props. No root id.
It would be nice to allow updating the "root_id" via the API. This allows moving posts to threads or between threads.

boards
An ability to preview documents within Boards similar to how documents can be previewed in channels (files). As a work around I currently export my PDF as images to allow myself and others to quickly view a document within a card without having to download an attachment and then view.

Control who's able to DM other members and who's not
Control the group members DM option with other members, maybe a new role that can only send messages in channels ?
This would be a great feature to increase security given some companies sensitive infos that shouldn't circulate around or just to stop any and all unneeded and unverified rumors from spreading privately3 votes -
Too many "image.png" files. Please make them identifiable.
Mattermost automatically stores all captured images as "image.png."
So, there are too many "image.png" files on all channels.If filename contains its datetime and the publisher's shortened ID like [Pete_230814-0848.png],
the user will be able to search the image file more easily.To be specific, it's a bit cumbersome to find a specific image file now.
Most people are seeking an image file directly from the recent file list through the view info icon(ⓘ) and voila, there're dozens of image.png files.
Although I've learned using following command works for that,
[:from:Somebody in:Somewhere image.png]
there's no guarantee of knowing the uploader's…3 votes -
on MM android client: compress picture before upload (just like Signal)
Easy to understand. If i want my users stop to use Signal, MM-client should be able to compress image before upload.
I've seen so many posts on this must-have feature for years but with no result :(Thank you & regards,

When i share a photo to MM android client, the MM app should open
By instance, when i share my photo to Signal, Signal opens directly, so that should MM client do. Don't you think ?
thank you and regards

Auto SSO/SAML login
In a SSO environment, it would make sense when only one authentication provider is available, to auto redirect the user to the sso provider page, so that you dont have to click on the login button.
In my case, i use keycloak with an active directory and kerberos, so all windows users are automatically logged in with mattermost in autostart if they did not have to click on the button.

Discard "New Messages" annotation by pressing Esc
The "New Messages" annotation stays on even when the chat continues/the message is answered. I would prefer if it disappears when I answer, or if that is on purpose to at least have the possibility to discard the annotation by pressing the Esc button.

Option to make username invisible
When creating a post or searching for users to add to teams or channels, only the full name or nickname should appear and the username should be hidden according to a configuration.
In my case, a username is linked to a worker's ID, which is pretty personal and long to show.

Line numbers for code blocks
When in meetings (with slow internet speed where you cannot share your screen), it is difficult to refer to lines of code that are not numbered and discuss things. It'd be great if lines were numbered or at least there was an option to optionally enable such a feature or a separate "numbered codeblock" feature.

Introduce a **Check Later Box** for improved async communication
A lot of times people want to drop a message to someone who don't need to check it immediately.
Examples
- Check these PRs when you have time
- Review this doc please
- Hey! I wanted to talk about the deployment process when you have time.
- Hey check this new video out on how TypeScript was created
etc.These are in general low priority items.
With todos and reminders, it's me doing the hard work of adding things to a todo list that I should check later. The current DM doesn't work because if something urgent comes up…

Add markdown support to attachment.footer
Currently markdown supported on post.text and attachment.text. I suggest to add support markdown to attachment.footer. It would be useful for migration from slack, where some bots and serivces use attachment.footer for adding navigation URL. For example, Grafana alert manager.
See full suggestion with screenshots

Add native possibility to subscribe to rss feeds in a specific channel
We received a feature request from our users: they'd like to be able to subscribe to one or more rss feeds natively (not with the rss feed plugin which no longer seems to be developed further). News on one of this feeds should be written to a selected channel including a notification for the new message(s).
