Let admins allow anonymous posts / anonymous channels
A setting that allows users to make anonymous posts. Or that forces all posts in a given channel to be anonymous.
On a trusted server, this gives users a safe place to make anonymous statements.
Similar to the "Anonymous posting" feature of Discourse: https://www.discourse.org/about/
Enable anonymous posting mode and your users can easily switch to anonymous mode to post about controversial, dangerous, or political issues without fear.

channel profile images
Support avatar icons for channels.
it would be great if the service and apps provided a similar API and UX to allow profile images to be assigned and queried for a channel.
This might work similarly to what is in place for users, where the Mattermost API supports getting a profile image for a user, except this request would provide profile image by channel.47 votes -

Add a command /play to play sound, movies quotes, etc.
We use Mattermost in a small team and when it comes the time to chill out, we sometimes abuse of the #random channel
We loved the emoticon customization and we would love to see the possibility to send a sound to react to a message with the right movie quote for example.That could be a plugin with a command like /play, I just doubt that the plugin would have the right to play a sound in browser.
The sound (and the command) could be created by users just like emoticons. The user should have to upload a sound file…

Delayed messages (/echo) should have longer delay than 10000 seconds
You can delay a message for 5 seconds with this syntax:
/echo "This multiline message
is delayed" 5Today the delay limit is 10000 seconds (~2 hours 45 minutes). This is to short. This should be increased to at least a few days, but why not a week or more (so the message is sent after the vacation is over)?
Sometimes when you got a message, you don't want to disturb the receiver at this time (e.g. in weekends or in vacations) or you got a better strategic moment to submit an idea. Then it would be very handy to…

Desktop notification: allow hiding text
As it's possible for mobile notification, for privacy reasons it would be great to have an option to hide message text in desktop notification.
One should be able to show:
* full notification: channel and message text
* partial notification: channel but HIDDEN text
* essential notification: just "you have new messages"46 votes -

Implement changing channel ownership
There is currently no method for changing the owner of a channel.
- A channel owner should be able to assign ownership of their channel to another user
- Team admins and System Admins should be able to assign ownership of any channel to another user

Allow administrators to set default notification settings
The default notification setting causes a lot of spam. It's hard for new users to find this and adjust it to mention-only, so they end up simply leaving teams. It would be helpful if administrators could choose which default new accounts start with. In my deployment, we would prefer new accounts start with notifications set to mention-only, of course allowing the users to change it.

Configurable default value of "Display Clock" 12-hour or 24-hour
Currently the default Display Clock for a new user is set to 12-hour clock.
In Europe we use the 24-hour clock for the most of us.
We therefore propose to make it possible to set the default "DisplayClock" in the config.json file.
In the "bulk-loading-data-format" it can be specified that "usemilitarytime" should be used. That is what we would like in the config.json44 votes -
Forward messages to other users
Like
Email forwarding generically refers to the operation of re-sending an email message delivered to one email address to one or more different email addresses.The term forwarding, used for mail since long before electronic communications, has no specific technical meaning,[1] but it implies that the email has been moved "forward" to a new destination.
Email forwarding can also redirect mail going to a certain address and send it to one or more other addresses. Vice versa, email items going to several different addresses can converge via forwarding to end up in a single address in-box.[clarification needed]

Disable highlighting of own messages
When chatting, the own messages are currently highlighted (grey background) which is a little bit confusing in my opinion. It would be create to either disable that, turn it the other way around or make it configurable

Ability to Reply to Message with Webhook
It would be awesome for us, when something like this could be achieved:
I use a slash command in a thread (right side), the triggered post will include the parent message id.
Add the parent message id to incoming webhooks. So I can reply to a thread with webhooks.

Allow to disable thread autofollow when whole channel was mentioned.
Add parameter that allows Mattermost admin, to disable thread autofollow while having collapsed reply thread turned on while mass mentions are used (@channel, @all, @here).
I want my users to get notification, but not to follow this thread automatically, afaik, this is not possible at this moment, because thread autofollow must be set to true in config.json, for collapsed reply thread to work.43 votes -
Delete messages from a channel to clean it
Hello,
in the case a channel is used to receive notifications in a defined interval, messages are bound to multiply and to be too numerous.
So i think it should be interesting to delete the messages from a channel by the creator of this channel or by a webhook.

LaTeX equation rendering in mobile app
LaTeX is integrated in a very useful way in the desktop app (Linux and MacOS as far as I can see). However, on iOS as well as Android LaTeX appears as a code snippet. Unfortunately, I cannot offer to contribute this feature myself, but I would highly appreciate equation rendering also in the mobile app.

Directory of public channels/channels I can have access to
A user should be able to easily see & search the list of all channels they have joined and can join. I'm seeing a number of duplicate channels created across teams because the user did not know it existed in another location.

Add Mumble/Murmur voice integration.
Add Mumble/Murmur voice integration.
Murmur is the server component of Mumble, and is lightweight, with highly configurable options and good encryption and voice quality. I think it could really be a powerful voice integration to consider, as it has an easier to use interface than say, Jitsi. Voice inside mattermost would make it a Discord killer imho.
