expand post area on mobile
On Slack, when I post on mobile and on desktop, it gives me an option to enlarge my input area up to the whole screen, which is very handy, when you post one big sentence (meeting summary, for example, etc).
Really missing this on MaterMost, it’s really troublesome to input a lot of data into that small field.
And another reason why I need a lot of data, it’s because we work asynchronious, so everybody think twice before typing and make the typed text be as understandable, as possible.

Ability to disable the plugin
Hello friends
Some plugins are suitable for some team members and inappropriate for some other team members.
In other words, each person can manage the plugins for themselves.

Allow users, or server admins to configure the width of the channel switcher
Webapp
Some of our channel names are just a little too long for the channel switcher, it'd be great to have an extra 50px so they fit in properly and don't get truncated.
It would be great if this was an option for users, or even as just a config setting in the server/webapp

Create color themes that use OS native colors
Electron has several API functions for retrieving specific native colors from the operating system. The main function that does this is
systemPreferences.getColor(color), but additional features are provided bysystemPreferences.getAccentColor()andsystemPreferences.getSystemColor(color). I'm not familiar with any examples of applications that have actually used these functions, but they could be especially nice on macOS Big Sur, where the system colors can be "vibrant"; that is, system colors vary slightly based on wallpaper tinting. Supporting native system colors could help the Mattermost desktop app feel even more at home in various desktop environments.You can find the functions in question here:
https://www.electronjs.org/docs/api/system-preferencesI recognize that native color theming would be a huge pain to test due to the wide variety of test targets, and I recognize that it would be a relatively low priority. Mainly I just think it's cool that Electron provides this functionality.

outlook IM
When clicking on "Send IM" in Outlook, it always opens Zoom Chat instead of MatterMost, because Zoom has an Outlook plug in for Outlook chat, but MatterMost does not.
The only Outlook plug in available on the MatterMost website is to forward emails. We desperately need a native MatterMost Outlook integration to make MatterMost the default chat/IM application when clicking that button in Outlook.

Change iOS notification sound
On the iOS platform there doesn’t appear to be a way to customize the sound made for a new message alert. And worse still, it makes a rather generic default iPhone “ding” sound that just disappears among all the other noise my phone constantly makes.
It would be really ideal if that sound can either be changeable by the user, or at least unique enough to be easily recognized (think the tweet sound from the twitter app for example).
A way to achieve this could be by exposing a settings configuration option that allows the user to choose from sounds already on the phone. That “should” only require updating the settings interface on iOS for the app, to allow that sound field to be settable.

inverted chat window configurable
This would not be only for the app. It is more a general thing for the appearance.
I would like to have a setting which gives me the option to invert the chat winodw. What i mean in detail with that is that the chat input would be on top. New messages would appear on top aswell and i have to scroll down to read older messages instead of up.

Add a reaction that says "MERGED"
Please consider adding an emoji that says "MERGED" (maybe in green?) for software pull requests. It would help let the team know that they no longer need to review a PR that has been sent in a team channel and would save time. Thank you!

(SEE DESCRIPTION) Custom statuses
Hi !
Thanks for having added the custom statuses to Mattermost.
But by doing that, you've just made what the others (slack, discord...) have already done.
It seems logical that if you do more than the others, if you add features that others don't have, people will choose your platform rather than other's platform.So what can you do more for the custom statuses ?
Sometimes, you need to send a "message" to the people you works with. But instead sending a message every time which will be submerged by other messages, why not set a status that only concerned users will see ?
For example, I need to work with Mr. X and Mr. Z, so I'm going to set a status "Ready to work with you" and you will set the people to @mrX and @mrY

Keep images collapsed when scrolling up
Often when I'm scrolling up in a chat, I'll lose my place b/c images suddenly start loading. Since images are now collapsible, it'd be awesome if unloaded ones (i.e., the ones further up in the chat) would stay collapsed until you manually expand them.

Allow administrators to set emoji aliases
I've run in to several emoji that use a non-standard name in Mattermost, which I've found to be very confusing. One prime example is that the "party popper" emoji (as it's known on many other platforms) is called "tada" in Mattermost. I'd love to be able to set an alias of

Support Multiple Organizations in Same Tab
At present connecting to multiple Mattermost servers requires separate tabs in browser or desktop client. If possible it will be useful to have a single Mattermost "tab" connect to multiple organizations. Perhaps in the menu on the left the name of the organization at the very top can be a drop down list of all connected organizations/servers. It would be nice to have an option that allows either listing all the channels for all the connected servers or showing only the channels of the organization selected from the drop down. If all the channels are shown then the may be coloured differently depending on which organization they belong to.

Ignore some website link previews
At my work we use a self hosted Mattermost server.
Shared links in chat are roughly 50/50 between:
- Fun, or informative public websites.
- Internal links, often requiring a login.For the first a preview is beneficial. It breaks up the wall of text and gives some quick details. These previews are usually unique.
For the latter a preview is useless. Often showing a login-required text. These previews sometimes take a lot of space, and they you always show the same thing (website title, generic description, logo - sometimes large as a preview photo). Examples are: links to internal Gitlab ('sign-in'), a WhereBy channel (generic info about WhereBy).
There is no way for Mattermost to decide when previews are useful or not.
I think it would help if one could control for what websites previews will be shown.
Maybe a setting where one can define a denylist for which no previews, or maybe a very limited one (title, logo), will be shown. I think it would suffice when that denylist is only based on domain names. But more granular support - though hard for many people to define - could perhaps help in some situations.
Or perhaps it would be better to have an option in each preview to mark it as uninteresting. That could hide it (but then you can't unhide it in chat) and any other previews for the same website, or make the preview small (to keep some UI element to revert the choice).

Increase/Remove/Configurable-ize the hardcoded limit of 1000 days of indexed history in ElasticSearch integration
If you integrate ElasticSearch, there is a hardcoded limit of 1000 days of history that will be indexed and search. Make this limit configurable or remove completely so that the whole chat history can be searched.
This has the nice benefit of making ElasticSearch integration strictly better than stock search in this area, rather than having non-overlapping feature sets which need to be balanced against each other.
