Less strict syntax requirements for code blocks
It's kind of annoying that the syntax for code blocks is so strict.

API: Add new_msg_count to /users/me/teams/{{team_id}}/channels/members
Currently you need to make two calls to get the total count of unread messages or to get the count of unread messages from a single channel (
/users/me/teams/{{team_id}}/channelsand/users/me/teams/{{team_id}}/channels/members).To avoid the first request, it would be nice to have a new property e.g.
new_msg_countthat returns the current new message count for a channel. This is currently only possible by substracting themsg_count(second request) from thetotal_msg_count(first request).This topic has already been discussed on github: https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server/issues/8591#issuecomment-383909505

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 newlines with CTRL+ENTER (like in Slack and Skype)
this is the opposite of the current setting:
ENTER inserts a new line and CTRL+ENTER submits the message.8 votes -
transform message to into an answer to message above
people are often sloppy in using answers to messages and just type it to the channel when it should be an answer to the message above.
I propose a button visible to the author and admins that allows to transform a message into an answer to the message above.
I hope it'll help to create more consistency in the usage of the answer/thread feature.11 votesPlanned with this ticket: https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/MM-35848

Video File Thumbnails
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.44 votes -
Add ability to move mistaken thread replies in a channel to the intended thread
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.

Disable the "More Actions" tooltip when the menu is already open
On the [...] button on the right side of a message, there's a tooltip displaying the text "More Actions". When I click on this button, the menu pops up and then the tooltip appears, blocking the "Edit" menu item. The tooltip should never be allowed to pop up if the menu is already open.

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.

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…

Make search work as it should.
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 WARNINGA 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.

More Granular Session lengths for SSO authentication
Currently the configurations for SSO authentication session lengths allow for a single digit value representing days that the authenticated session will last before expiring and forcing a re-authentication.
There has been quite a bit of interest within my teams to have this more granular, specifically down to a number of hours (with our preference being somewhere around the length of a work day- 8hours). By doing something less than a single day, with people having varying schedules, it would guarantee that almost everyone will need to re-authenticate when coming back to work. As is, it can happy sporadically depending on…

Email notification for any activity (without mention)
Currently, the notification system allows:
- Getting browser desktop notification for any activity
- Getting email notification for mentions
I'd like to have the mix: get email notification for any activity when I'm not logged-in. Many systems allow this (eg. gitter's "You have unread messages" emails), but I couldn't find it in Mattermost.
Ideally, the system would :
- Wait a few minutes before sending the notification, to send a mail containing several messages at once.
- Send only one notification even if there are further messages, to avoid flooding the mailbox with tons of emails
This would be very useful to follow low…

Limit number of times animated emoji will loop
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.

Push-to-Talk
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!

Add an API for getting private channels
As a system admin using the API, it would be useful to get a list of private channels for a team.
Currently, one can get posts for private channels through the
channels/{channel_id}/postsAPI, but that assumes that the admin knows the channel_id. Finding that ID cannot be done through the API.Use case: for reporting purposes, we want to get the count of messages per private channel each month.

Include private channels to search based on current user membership
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.
