Central support for Mattermost ending in May 2025

April 7, 2025 at 11:15 am

The LT Hub’s support for the chat tool Mattermost will end on Monday, May 5, 2025. After this date, Mattermost will no longer be available to use with central support at UBC.

Why is central support for Mattermost changing?

UBC’s learning technology leadership made this decision for several reasons:

  • Since its adoption at UBC, Mattermost has seen a significant drop in use that is now disproportionate to its maintenance needs.
  • The functionality of Mattermost is similar to what is now available in Microsoft Teams.

Where can I get support with transitioning?

For questions or requests for help in transitioning from Mattermost or with using Microsoft Teams, contact us at the LT Hub.
