Icons for channels
It would be nice to be able to assign an icon (or emoji) to a channel so that it replaces the existing public/private icons in the sidebar. Having a small image that describes the channel allows for people to more easily find a channel that they are looking for in a large list of channels (just like it does for DMs and teams). The space taken up by the existing public/private icons would be better served by a custom image/emoji. If desired, the public/private icons could be retained by making them small overlay icons in the corner much like user…

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).

Include Racially Diverse Emojis
Currently, all of the default emojis (people, hands, etc) on the desktop app have a light yellow skin tone. Since you are already using apple emojis, it would be awesome to integrate the ability to change the skin and hair tone of these emojis.

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

Integrate with Discourse
It would be fantastic if Mattermost could share user registrations from Discourse, so that our users only have to register/login once to use essentially the same site.
39 votesThere is a community integration available for connecting Mattermost with Discourse:

Improve web accessibility
It would be great if the WCAG 2.0 guidelines could be implemented to help people with disabilities to use Mattermost.
This is an area that is often overlook, specially by the recent wave of chat platforms, so it's an opportunity for Mattermost to differentiate itself from the crowd.
39 votesThis is planned. Would anyone be interested helping with this effort as we create tickets for them?
It would be great to hear people’s feedback on what are the biggest gaps with accessibility currently.

Allow Webhooks to post to Reply Threads
From: https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server/issues/10463
At the moment, the "comment" value for response_type will only trigger for the triggering message, even if that message is part of a thread. Maybe a value of "thread" can tell it to reply in the thread rather than creating another thread just to respond to the trigger message.

Retrieve Private Channels in Team through API as Team Admin
If you've found the following limitation through the API where Private Channels in a given Team cannot be listed by a Team Admin due to access restrictions in the API
"Get Public Channels For Team" API endpoint currently requires permission listteamchannels in order to list Public Channels within a team.

Search on all public channels
For now it only searches the channels that you have joined.
Maybe the info you are searching exists outside of the channels you have already joined.

add or remove people from a group message
Sometimes, you start a Group Message and realize later that you need to add a new person to the conversation, or remove someone from the conversation.
Currently, there is no way to add/remove someone from a conversation. A new Group conversation has to be started, but all of the previous discussion details are lost, or have to be copied and pasted, one at a time, into a new Group conversation.
Please add the ability to add/remove people to/from an existing Group Message.

Daily / weekly email digests
I know it sounds like the “email batching” feature added in Mattermost 3.4 https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/12903204-allow-email-batching-limiting
… but for non-professionnal environnement, a daily, weekly, or even 15 days or monthly “digests” of notifications and/or channels activities would be very useful. Even with one hour batches, members deactivates their notifications when they can't work everyday for the team.
“Slow projects” don't need immediate responses, and a moderate usage of notifications would be appreciated.
In some circonstances, a good (slow) timing of reminder could even drive members' involvement (e.g. for those who takes a few hours per week for a project).
This could be…

Allow for bots to directly upload images
Bots are only able to post text messages to rooms, however, it would be convenient if bots were able to attach photos as a message to the room.
We would prefer if our bot didn't have to upload images to an accessible URL and then post that url to the room (and then only get a preview of an image), as this adds a few extra steps to viewing the image and requires our bot to be aware of when it is done uploading the image to the host and then finally post the link to the room.

Quote Reply In Threads
In a thread, because we cant create subthreads, the comment menu should have a new item called "quote reply".
"Quote Reply" should allow the user to add a new comment with reference from the comment he is replying.
A : I like cars.
A : Wanna go for pizza? <-- "Quote Reply"
B : I like Ferrari.
B : "Wanna go for pizza?"
Yes. Pizza is a great idea.37 votes -
Ability to change the order of channel groupings
There are several options now provided for changing the grouping and ordering of channels, but one is conspicuously missing IMO: the ability to change the ordering of the groupings.
In my use of MM, I have a small handful of favorite channels, and then a bunch of other channels, and then a small handful of direct messages. Most of my communication is in the favorite channels and the direct messages, but the former is at the very top and the latter is at the very bottom. It is annoying to have to scroll through the wasteland of all of my…
