The same way we can send messages, we should be able to send voice messages.

It should be as simple as click "add voice", record what you want, press send and it's made available on the server for others to listen.

It should be supported by browser and mobile client apps.

If a user misses replying to a thread in a channel and instead replies directly to the channel, this message is not part of the thread that it was intended to be and the conversation is not clear.

There should be a way for a user or channel admin to move a message to the intended thread inside the channel and keep it inline with the on-going threaded conversation (since everything is timestamped this seems possible).

This would clean up the conversations and mistakes that users will make.

Just like we have tumbnails on pictures. helping us identify what we are looking for without having to open the preview tool.
It would be great if we could have thumbnails on videos too.

A toggle option so that threads appear as "N comments" and open in the side-panel, so they do not interrupt the main flow of the channel, and you can follow each thread mode easily.

When users have their mattermost window open all the time, animated emoji that are endlessly looping can be very distracting and annoying. If they paused after looping a set number of times, it would greatly improve the user experience for me.

Users seem to expect that "Flag post" means "Report post" and do not think of it as a way to bookmark posts.

Especially as in the web-app "flag post" is not displayed along the other post-actions, but instead by the side of the posting username.

I already filed that as a github issue: https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server/issues/9990

Galera cluster provides multi master SQL database (e.g. upon MariaDB or MySQL) and can help strengthen the database backend. As it easy to deal with mattermost-server outages (simply run another instance very quickly), it is mostly painfull to deal with single DB outage.

Galera cluster can be supported in a direct way - add all db nodes to the configuration and use it in balanced way or as a fallback - or can be used via haproxy or similar.

In cases of a international team managing time zone is often difficult. It would be great if Mattermost supported some kind of timezone conversion. A user can choose his timezone in settings and when posting dates or times in a chat, a special syntax, probably something along the lines of (12:00 PM) would be required. The clients will auto convert the time to local users timezone while displaying. This could be an opt-in feature.

Make Mattermost API channels search method
( /teams/{team_id}/channels/search )
to include private channels where the current user is a member.

E.g. if the user A is a member of channel B and user A performs channel search, it will get channel B in a response from server if B matches the term.

In Mattermost 5.5.0 search returns only public channels in results. The only way to find channel by display name is to get all channels current user is a member of and iterate over them on client side.

for the default search backend (sql), search results are capped at 100!

you can verify this by loading jquery and doing:

$('.search-item__container').length;

you can see that paging isn't supported:

https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server/blob/master/app/post.go#L821

and the sql uses `LIMIT 100`:

https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server/blob/master/store/sqlstore/post_store.go#L834

i know this isn't an issue in enterprise because you're using elasticsearch, but please either bring elasticsearch to team edition or fix the default search backend. 100 results is sad :(

It would be nice if there would be the possibility to create channels in which you could fix an embed content in the upper area. E.g. a Google calendar which shows the weekly overview or an external service for data storage etc..

Alternatively, a bot that writes the Daily Todos in a channel like slack would be possible: https://get.slack.help/hc/de/articles/206329808-Google-Kalender-f%C3%BCr-Slack

While "texting", I would like to be able to transmit an ad hoc sound bite, so that I can quickly verbalize something without having to start a call session - not store-and-forward, but immediate live voice, Star Trek comm badge style.

I'm glad I ran into you guys in Punta Cana!

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.

Currently, search is horribly broken for technical conversations. For example, given a post which contains a log message, such as:

```
PROBLEM srvnagios at 10.4.1.74/MYSQL_threads-connected is WARNING
```

A search for MYSQL will not show this as a result. This is, certainly, just an example and it's been relayed that this is by design due to a lack of support for preceding wildcards (which shouldn't be needed anyway). Simply typing MYSQL in the text box should return any string that contains MYSQL or mysql.

Hello Team ,

Let me know how can I use a aws SNS as push service in mattermost ? right now am using the mattermpst push proxy (https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-push-proxy)
