Voice Messages Record and Play Feature

Hi all,

Sometimes the user is busy and unable to type. In this scenario, the best would be to record his voice and make it available in the chat message.

It should be as simple as click “add voice”, record what you want, press send and it’s made available on the server for others to listen.

It’s a great feature and it should be supported by the client apps.

Cheers

Hi, everyone.

Old topic but I just wanted to share my finding today. Came across the following plugin that might be a good workaround to this:

Take note that it is not working on mobile app for now based on this issue.

That’s really great! Do you plan to develop this feature also for mobile app? That would be awsome for our users! All the best!

Hi, @sqsmacz

There is a limitation as Mattermost does not yet support client side plugins on mobile as mentioned in this topic 2 years ago.

Still a work in progress.

Reviving this old topic as my entire team misses this feature sorely compared to Slack. We would love to record and play voice messages natively in all clients of Mattermost (web, Desktop, mobile).

You can add suggestions at https://mattermost.uservoice.com/

Giving this old thread a bump as it’s one of the top-voted ideas from our UserVoice channel in the last quarter. This feature would allow users to record and send voice messages within Mattermost, making communication more versatile and efficient.

We would love to hear some more thoughts on this feature, either here on the Forums, or over on UserVoice.

  • How would voice messages improve your workflow or communication within Mattermost?
  • Are there any specific use cases or scenarios where you think voice messages would be particularly beneficial?
  • Do you have any concerns or additional features you would like to see included with this functionality?

Your feedback is invaluable to us, and discussing this together will help us understand the community’s needs better. Let’s dive into this and see how we can make Mattermost even better!
