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.
https://api.mattermost.com/#tag/channels/operation/GetPublicChannelsForTeam"Get Private Channels For Team" currently requires permission manage_system in order to list Private Channels within a team. That permission is restricted to System Admins.
https://api.mattermost.com/#tag/channels/operation/GetPrivateChannelsForTeamPer Mattermost Permissions, a manage_system is a permission that is only assigned to System Admins

Close dms directly when clicking to another area (settings opt-in)
Other messenger services offer a user setting where you can hide direct message instances from the left sidebar once you have clicked into it and then clicked to another dm or channel. It would appear again if the person sent you a new message. You can bypass this by pinning or favoriting that user so they always stay in the DM list.
I prefer this system so that the DM area acts as an 'inbox' only, where I can glance and see things that need my attention. Having 10-40 inactive entries is just clutter, esp. on smaller device screen heights…

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

Provide a "Mark read" choice in mobile push notifications
A "Mark read" choice in push notifications about new messages, as seen in many IM apps, would be handy in Mattermost Mobile too. Currently the message can only be marked read by tapping the message to open the app (which is slow).

Increase notification sound length for sound over HDMI speakers
All notification sounds are too short. On my PC I use sound over HDMI to my monitor speakers. It takes about a second to establish the connection. In that time the sound is already played. If I listen very carefully, I only hear some noise for about a second or two before the sound connection is closed again. But some hardly to hear noise doesn't draw my attention.
This might also be a problem with sound over Bluetooth?2 votes -
Give users a choice between Message Bubble and Message Lines (Current) like Element gives
In Element, they have option to choose how messages are being displayed.
- Message Bubble
- Message without Bubble (They call it Modern)
Not everyone is a fan of Modern Design, especially legacy people.

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…

mmctl command to clean-up orphaned files
As it is now, we will probably have to write a custom lambda funtion that scans the entire S3 bucket, tries to match the files with the associated channels, and removes them if not found. Not even sure if this is possible, there are alot of id's in the pathname of the files, so my guess is one of them is the channel id, however, this we still need to confirm.

Bigger writing screen for the mobile app
Dear Mattermost team
In the mobile app when answering to a message, the reply writing screen is only 3 lines wide … whereas received message takes all the screen.
Why this choice ?
Do we need in priority to read constantly the received message or to be very focused on our reply ?Let’s make the reply writing screen full screen for the confort of writing.
Thanks
Arno

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.

seen messages in direct message or channel
In Telegram you can see who read the message in channel.
I think it's good feature, because right now I gotta set reaction on message to let know user who mentioned me that I read it and he doesn't need to repeat it me in DM. also we want this on direct message

Custom user groups with rights management
I would like to be able to define custom user groups and manage their rights (channels they can access, ...) through these groups.
That way when a new member joins, I can assign them to the group(s) and their rights will be automatically set correctly.
TLDR : Custom groups management like how discord handles roles9 votes -

Make text selectable in images
In macOS Monterey and later, you can select text in screenshots and other images in e.g. Preview.app. When people paste screenshots of user interfaces etc. on Mattermost, and I want to copy & paste some text from it, then I have to first right-click the image and select "Copy Image", then switch to Preview.app, paste the image there, and then select and copy, and switch back to Mattermost to paste the text. This requires more steps then necessary, and is not very discoverable, leading many to simply not know they can copy text from screenshots.
If one limits the feature…

Support for syntax highlighting in Mattermost Boards
Mattermost Boards should support, in Cards text content, code blocks with language specification. For example:
// Your First Program class HelloWorld { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Hello, World!"); } }Refer also to the following issue: https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost/issues/23627

Boards on mobile
It would be great to have access to MM boards on the mobile app, integrated with my existing boards on the desktop and web app. This would allow users to view and update their board tasks from their Boeing Phone, when not logged into our laptop.
