Text-to-speech accessibility support for at least one client interface if not all
The Mac OS/X Desktop Client for Mattermost has never supported text-to-speech with would make my interaction as a low vision (legally blind) user much easier. Until recently, I was able to at least get that functionality in the web-based interface with Chrome but that is also no longer working. I can't even set up the iphone app because the first step of entering the server is incompatible with Voice Over. If I was totally blind, I couldn't use the application at all. The only reason I use it is for work as my employer has adopted it as our enterprise wide messaging service. Not sure if Mattermost has access-ability suppor for Microsoft Windows or not since I only use that platform at home presently and have not tried out Mattermost there. I would really appreciate this functionality. This web form supports it so I'm not sure that there is any particular trick to it unless the text is rendering as images rather than text. AI Squared Zoomtext is the software I use for accessibility on my Mac for work in case that information is helpful. Thanks you!

Unread count location in GUI
Unread count should be displayed on the far left of each channel.
As it sits today, the count is on the far right. For channels with long names or multiple members, you can't actually see the unread count, which makes it useless. In addition, just bolding the channel name is not very easy to see/discern.

Snooze for channel notifications
I don't want to miss when my team is posting comments on our channel but I also don't want to be be notified every few seconds when things pick up. It would be nice if I could receive a notification and am then aware things being said but I could go in and select a snooze option. Then for the next 15 minutes I don't get distracted for every posting and can choose where my attention is.

Better wording for account deactivation
When a user want to delete his account, he can think "deactivation" is enough but doesn't necessarily know that it just means that he cannot log anymore…
Maybe (in advanced settings):
"By deactivating your account you will no longer be able to log in but the messages will be kept. To permanently delete your account and your messages, please contact your administrator."
And a similar (or the same) message in email notification.

Option to use the OS window borders
The new mattermost desktop app use a custom window border.
But this does not always meet user expectations, especially under KDE I can freely configure the border.In my case, I have the close button on the left side (like MacOS) and no minimize / maximize buttons.
I know from some apps (e.g. Chrome) that there is an option to use the framework of the OS.

Direct message autoreply limit
If two persons both have auto replies to DM messages on, it can lead to a situation where auto replies are sent both ways in eternal loop. Could there be some limit how many replies are sent to a person or in a discussion?

Mattermost and Atlassian JIRA
Hi all,
we would like to have a button in our Confluence System (onprem) like a "share with Mattermost" button so that users easily can share their spaces with a mattermost team or channel.
I know that there is a plugin "slack for mattermost" that is compatible with MM, but thats "only" the integration, not a button.
Regards,

There should a 'Buzz' for alert
There should be a 'Buzz' to alert the other user. Like, Spark, Yahoo.
Sometimes we have messaged to another user. But user is busy on another task. He/She missed the messages which is very important.
In this case, the user should have a 'Buzz' button or shortcut for alert to someone. I hope everyone knows about the importance of 'Buzz'. :)

Set channel ID for incoming webhook
Incoming webhooks already allow posting to a specific channel using the channel name. I want the option to use channel ID instead.
Channel names are mutable, which means an integration cannot save the names and reliably interact with the same channels in future. Instead it has to save the channel ID and query for the name before every request.

Clarified "Channel Purpose"
The "purpose" element of each channel is very difficult to see. Information such as who created this channel doesn't need to be noticeable. The necessary "purpose" statement is buried in the information. I want at least the "purpose" statement to bold the font.
I want to hide or move information other than the purpose.3 votes -
Allow Tags to be added like Reactions
Since you already plan to add Tags, I would like to propose the ability to add tags like reactions so that people other than the original poster have the ability to tag the post!

Have less subtle new message alerts in the Notification Area
So i have the MatterMost app on Windows. I dislike clutter on my taskbar and having too many windows open, so I have it minimised to a notification area icon most of the time.
The notification area icon looks nice, it's little a white circle inside a circle, and the colour and design matches various other Windows 10 taskbar icons. Very neat and tidy.
However, I think that this aesthetic is not as important as knowing that I have a new message.
Currently when I get a new message and Mattermost is minimised to notification area, a small red dot appears on the icon. Which is good, but tiny. I do sometimes miss it, and when it's an important message from my boss that can be an issue.
It would be better if the entire notification area icon could change to a bright colour, maybe even flash orange / yellow or something like that when I have a new message.
For example in Microsoft Outlook, when I get a new email a little yellow envelope appears there. It's not white like my other notification area icons, so it draws my attention.

Direct vs general notifications customization
The notification sound and duration should be customizable depending on whether it is a direct mention or a general activity.

Enable a setting to allow sound alerts on a channel basis
I love that I can get notified when there is a post with a sound. But we have a community channel that a huge number of people belong to where things are discussed that I'm not interested in. I was added to the channel by my boss, and think it would be rude to disconnect. But if I could just turn off the notifications for that channel then I wouldn't be so distracted looking at many many notifications that have nothing to do with me and my work. Thanks for letting us make suggestions to make Matermost even better! Our team loves it!! Barb

Allow selecting and deleting multiple messages at once
Allow Channel Admins to be able to enter "select" or "edit" mode where checkboxes appear next to the messages.
Admins would be able to select messages one by one or to select a range of messages by clicking the first one, holding Shift button and selecting the last one (like we've used from other software).After selecting multiple messages, Admins would be able to delete them at once, or perform any other action that might be implemented during the development (move, archive, flag, something else).
This feature would make it a lot easier to delete whole bunches of off-topic messages and make all the channels cleaner and easier to use - both from user and admin point of view.
Hopefully it was helpful :)

System Administrator: Ability to Import Users via CSV / Excel File
While system administrator are limited to only have the following methods to create / import users:
* Local users: mattermost user create CLI, direct invite, team invite link
* External users: LDAP / AD / SAMLIt will be good to have the ability to use CSV or Excel file to bulk import the users with specific formatting especially if the organization has a lot of customers and is not utilizing AD / LDAP / SSO.

Add turnkey support for Auth0 as an identity provider
As described at https://forum.mattermost.org/t/auth0-single-sign-on/6728
As a mattermost administrator, I want to be able to configure authentication with Auth0 as an identity provider. Auth0 supports a variety of standards, so it might be best to implement it as OpenID Connect.
