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 -

Support preview of HEIF / HEIC images
Modern smartphones, iOS and Android based, save photos in HEIC instead of JPEG.
As of now, there's no preview support for HEIC encoded images. When people post photos taken on their smartphones, users currently have to download the photo to see it.
Therefore I suggest adding support of HEIC to the image previews feature.

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 -

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

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.

Extend customization options to include message bg for current user
NOTES:
- I'm posting this as per the request made here: https://github.com/mattermost/platform/issues/2549
- I am not capable of implementing this myselfMattermost highlights user's own messages with a gray background (color depends on fg text color). It is entirely up to user's personal taste and preference whether these highlights add anything to the experience: I personally find them distracting and feel they disrupt the flow of the conversation. Also, visually, they're unappealing.
So, however you feel about these highlights personally, you should at least agree that they're a prominent visual feature. As such, users should be able to turn them…

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).

JIRA Integration Channel Notification/Subscribe
Support all issue status update event transitions, not just only status changes when the ticket is reopened, or when resolved/closed, and assignee changes.
We use the issue status transition to trigger the QA Team to start work. Would be nice to have these notifications via the Mattermost Integration

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]
