Desktop app: Ability to find a permalink
There is no way to navigate to a permalink (the way I can in a browser address bar). This makes collaborating with inbound traffic (e.g. a reference in an email) very hard, I end up switching to a browser. (I realize this might be borderline feature request, but the lack of handling is specific to this client, or my ignorance of how to use it.)
- Get permalink from existing post
- Switch to different channel, same team
- Paste full link (or just token ID) into search
- Nothing found

Desktop app: Minimize to tray when clicking on the icon
Currently, we have to close the windows in order to minimize to tray.
But a lot of similar apps, like Riot, allow minimizing to tray by clicking on the tray icon, which is much more convenient.
Please consider adding this.

Set default zoom in preferences
I need to run Mattermost desktop client at about 4 control-+ levels of zoom. Can you please implement a default level of zoom in preferences for text? I doubt there's a way to isolate images vs text zoom, but at least being able to set a default overall zoom would help. It might also be helpful to have an option to control "compactness" of content in that at this zoom level it would help to have text a bit more compact (ie, less vertical line height).

When sharing something from mobile browser to the Mattermost app, it should remember the last channel shared to as the new default
When you share something from the mobile browser to the Mattermost Android app, it does not remember the last channel that was shared to.
For example, the Mattermost app defaults to channel A because that is the last used channel. When I share a link from the Chrome browser to Mattermost, it will default to channel A, but in this case I opted to share to channel B. The next time I share a link, it will still default to channel A despite my last share being to channel B.
It would be very convenient if the Mattermost app would remember the last channel that was shared to as the new default.

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 or medium traffic channels.

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.

a way to secure self-managed Mattermost deployments...
It is possible to secure self-managed Mattermost deployments w/ Fyde (www.fyde.com)'s unified security and trusted access platform.
Fyde provides granular access controls for enterprise apps (i.e. Mattermost) and workloads, and continuously monitors access requests.
With Fyde, you can roll-out strong device authentication, improve security posture of unmanaged devices and remediate configuration errors.

Support external keyboard
See issue: https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-mobile/issues/2512
When an external keyboard and an on-screen keyboard is used, the chat input text field looses focus as soon as the on-screen-keyboard is hidden, probably because hiding the keyboard changes the screen size and therefore triggers a redraw/relayout. I suggest to fix this.7 votes -
allow message with slack attachments to show there fallback text in email notifications (instead of sending an empty email)
Hi all,
We ran into an issue where messages sent that consist of an attachment as per:
https://docs.mattermost.com/developer/message-attachments.html 1
don’t show anything in email notifications. I was wondering if this was intended?I can imagine sending the formatted text is difficult, but part of the message attachment is a fallback string and including this in the email notification should be feasable.
Kind regards,

Miniature (icon) Mugshot in leftmost Direct Messages pane, shown before name
In the “Direct Messages” leftmost pane show a miniature mugshot, in addition to the persons name shown. The same mugshot /image as shown in message conversation list view.
Sometimes the name is not know or remembered, but the face is not easily forgotten (unless your blind) and might be recognized, when initiating a conversation.
My list contain about 100 developers, many with similarly sounding names and it would ease when trying to find the right developer.
When having many contacts often the names becomes very similar i.e John A Smith, John B Smith, John C Smith.
Which of those is the John you met at the coffee machine?
Of course one can click on each and every one of the ones in the long list of Direct Messages, you believe you spoke with in order to see the mugshot, which is only shown after a specific contact have been selected, but it is a time-consuming process.
Can it be implemented in next release?
Thank you for your time. Please vote for this idea!

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 a plugin hook for search
If plugins had a hook when someone performs a search, they could customise the search experience, e.g. by querying other systems and offering those results too (maybe as an ephemeral post).
I would love to use mattermost search as our cross-platform search provider...

Linux desktop app: start hidden in tray without creating window itself
Instead of creating the application and minimizing it application start must be done without creating window itself.
Lack of this option I have discussed here https://forum.mattermost.org/t/solved-linux-mattermost-desktop-start-minimized-from-command-line/6321/18

Improve High Availability UI
Some improvements could help administration:
- In the Cluster Status table, highly the node that the user is currently connected to so it's obvious
- Provide a way to connect directly to the server on the local port to debug that specific server.
Any other ideas for improvement?

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.

Add notification timeout option
I've seen other thing saying there is a timeout option for notifications but I'm not seeing one in the Linux desktop app. Should it be there? If not, I'd really like a way to make the notifications to be persistent until I interact with them or Mattermost.
