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.

gallery view
I am not totally convinced of videocalls. In my opinion it is enough to use the audio channel as the main means of communication and a chat channel as a second option.
Of course there are many benefits from using videos like nod vigorously or do thumbs-up, gesture like raise hands
but I think those can also be found in a chat. Maybe to a certain degree not as much in the good old serial chat. Therefore I`d like to establish a chat within gallery view, like they already exist in video calls, so all participants are able to see everyone at the same time.
I've created a small mockup https://klml.github.io/gallerychat/index.html
I would very much appreciate hearing your thoughts, do you think this could be a more productive way to conduct online meetings e.g. briefings?

Admins should be able to clear or hide the history of a channel.
Sometimes I want to add new users to a channel, but I don't want them to see the messaging history. As an admin, I could have the right to delete the history of the chosen channel, or at least have the option to hide the history when new users join.

increase the 22 character limit on channel names.
Slack recently increased their character limitation on channel names. We would like Mattermost to increase the limit as well, as this has been a helpful feature since it was rolled out.

"Add a comment" Cursor Focus after Clicking Reply
After clicking reply to a message, you cannot begin typing until you click a second time on the "Add a comment..." box because focus is directed to the search bar. It seems like priority should be given to replying when a user clicks on reply. We are using version 4.2.0.

Add a keyboard shortcut to jump the the currently open RHS content/message thread.
Often, I will have a long running thread/message-reply chain open, and then a certain channel open for other conversations. It would be great to have a keyboard shortcut to jump to the input for the sidebar, just like there is the equivalent "Focus Input" shortcut (Shift + GUI + L) that jumps to the input for the current channel.
With that, I could easily jump between both places to add new messages without having to switch to my mouse/trackpad.

restrict attachments by channel or by team
There should be an option to restrict file upload by channel or even by team globally.
Currently if I disable file upload, it will be disable for all the teams and all the channels...

"Hot Unread": Highlight channels with recent activity
"Unread" on its own isn't always useful.
I watch close to 100 channels. Many of the channels are in a permanent unread state because they're not critical. What I'd really like to know is which channels have recent activity (say within the last hour) so I can jump into an active conversation.
This doesn't replace "Unread", but would be an elevated state, like "Hot Unread". After a period of time, it then falls back to "Unread"

Ability to upload videos with size over 50mb
In the iOS application, you need to be able to choose the degree of video compression at startup. This is necessary so that you can compress videos and upload them. Now, when you try to upload a video clip, the video is primarily compressed, but since the compression algorithms are not good enough, the video still weighs too much and cannot be uploaded. Please fix it.

Keyboard shortcut to change team
To have a single mattermost client connected to several teams is a great feature.
What i find missing is a keyboard shortcut to change team. The other shortcuts are very good and I usually can navigate through many channels and conversations with keyboard only, but when I see that have received in other team, I have to use the mouse.
Perhaps you could add tabs or something similar to the "quick channel switcher" (Ctrl-K) or have a new shortcut to switch teams (e.g. Ctrl-T).
74 votesThank you for nominating the feature! It is now available in Mattermost v5.22.0.

member list
Member list on side of chat window w/ status indicator
Show a member list on the side of the chat window listing all the users that are in the current room, sorted by status and then name (so that logged out users are at the bottom).
This seems critical to communication .. who's in the room, who's online, who am I talking to, am I in the right room before typing @everyone, etc. At a glance. The little member button with drop down is insufficient especially in rooms with hundreds of people.
This is a repost, but the original is closed but was not fixed.

Make guest accounts expire after a set period of time
Currently guest accounts are permanent until removed by the admins.
It would be more convenient and secure if guest accounts have an automatic expiry date after a certain period of time.

Configurable desktop notifications duration
Mattermost is intended to be team collaboration and messaging tool.
It functions fine when working with channels which are similar to forums or IRC channels.But when sending direct messages, the user experience is quite bad because desktop notifications disappear after 5 seconds and when user is concentrating to something else or is AFK he will miss the notification and doesn't know that someone is trying to reach him.
It would be great if there was a configuration option where user can choose how long the notification should be displayed.
This feature was already implemented in v3.4, but was removed later.

Use Keycloak as an IDP
Keycloak is one of the most popular IDP providers used.
It would be great it Keycloak could be supported as simple as other authentication providers based on the same technology.
