Make 'reply to last message in a channel' a default option
Enable the ability for a user org/admin to make 'reply to the last message in a channel' the default option when starting a new message, so threads are the default for a conversation. This could perhaps also be optionally limited to replies that explicitly start with or contain an 'at-mention' of the handle of the creator of the original post.

Add option to turn off default custom emojis
The title says it all: i.e. get rid of "the Doom guy" and other icons there. This option can go on the Emojis page in the System Console. An alternative implementation would be to list them in the custom emoji list and allow them to be individually deleted there.

Newcommers to private channels should not have access to the past logs
When a new user is invited to a private channel, s.he can access all the past logs as if s.he was a member of the channel from Day 1. I see this as a sort of privacy pitfall, as you have to control your language thinking of who may be invited in the future. That's not exactly what I'd call a private discussion channel.
My use case is that we are using mattermost to discuss our research project. I can perfectly imagine how we discuss together about a concurring project and then later introduce a postdoc coming from that group.…

Integration with Miro collaborative whiteboarding
Miro (https://miro.com/) is a collaborative whiteboarding system popular with (interaction) designers but also used in research and strategy planning.
Microsoft Teams allows the following events from Miro to be shown:
- invitees sign up
- board is shared with you
- there's a new comment or a reply to your comment on a board
- someone @mentions you in a comment or reply.

It would be nice to have a similar integration in Mattermost.

Run mattermost-mobile in webapp contexts and therefore allow other platforms than ios and android
I recently started using a Volla Phone with the operation system Ubuntu Touch and would like to use mattermost-mobile. As the app has been developed using react-native, I think the easiest way to support more platforms would be to also support react-native-web. This would allow to start mattermost-mobile in a browser and/or in web app contexts of other platforms than ios and android.

Allow users to be set to disallow direct messages
At the moment, you can configure users to be allowed to send direct messages either to other members of the team or to anyone on the server.
I'd like to make it so that normal users cannot start direct messages at all.
My particular usecase may be a little out of the sweet spot - I have created a mattermost for my children (quite young) who I want to be able to chat with while they are doing their home learning, but don't want them using public chat systems. I am happy for them to interact with each other in…

Send E-Mail using Slash Command
We are using a e-mail-based ticket system (e.g., ticketsupport@company-name.org). As most of our communication switched to Mattermost, the only remainder is writing mails to create a ticket.
Therefore, it would be really convenient to send a e-mail using something like:
/[mail-address] ["Subject"] ["Body"]
The from address is the address used by Mattermost.6 votes -
Increase the maximum nickname length (or a pronoun field)
In our mattermost, users have been organically adding their pronouns to the end of their nickname, which is great, but when users have particularly long names, it's impossible for them to add more than 22 characters.
Example: "Joe Smith (he/him)" works fine at 18 characters, but "Alexander Bernard (They/Them)" at 29 characters goes well past the 22 character limit.
Because of the number of potential duplicate users based on their first name, there just isn't a good way to add pronouns, and it's difficult to explain that the 22 character limit on nicknames isn't able to be extended on our…

Read-only channels but with threads allowed
Hello,
It would be nice to have an ability to restrict messages in the channel but allow messages in the threads for the channel.
So that channel looks like a forum. Only answers to the posts are allowed.

Limit custom emoji visibility to some channels
By default custom emojis are available to every user in the server in every channel.
I would like to be able to restrain the visibility of a custom emoji I upload.
When uploading a custom emoji, I would like to pick in which channel it can be selected.I am interested in implementing this feature myself.

Make team tabs optional
The new wide tab bar steals useful screen real estate, introduces visual redundancy to our single-server setup (team name mentioned twice within a really small area of UI), and makes the app look even less at home on macOS. The old top of the window bar at least looked native. Please consider making the tab bar optional at least in single-server environments.

Android back button navigate through Mattermost app window history
I suggest that the back button should work more similar to other chat applications on the mobile platform. At the moment pressing the back button (or gesture) prompts for confirmation to close the application.
It feels more natural to go back to the previous channel, direct message, etc.For example:
I receive a direct message notification and I click on it. I am taken to the direct message. I then activate the drawer and move to another channel. To get back to the prevoius direct message or channel it would be handy to just press the back key.
Similarly I…

Server wide channel groupings (like discord)
https://discord.com has the ability to create channel grouping for the server, so all users have the same groupings.
Presently mattermost has this for each user, and while very useful (and should remain!), having the ability to craft default groups for all users would greatly improve the ability to sort channels for larger organizations and enterprise users.

Support embedding a channel in a web page
Collaborative apps would greatly benefit from reusing a robust and mature chat system, instead of reimplementing a shitty one (think Google Meet's side chat). It would be great if Mattermost could allow an existing channel (or a newly-created one) to be embedded inside an iframe that communicates with the host window e.g. via postMessage or similar mechanism.

Button to minimize inline images (ex: GIFs plugin)
Users can minimize an image preview of an URL that is directly pasted in the message, with the cross button at the top left corner. However, there is no such button if the same image is inlined with the folowwing syntax .
It'd be useful to have a way of minimizing inline images, like Slack does and like Mattermost does for raw URL previews.
This is a follow-up on multiple requests from the users of moussetc/mattermost-plugin-giphy on GitHub (Issue 12).
