Hi salmannaeem17 - 

  1. As an admin, you use app setup policies to install and pin apps for users. Please refer the following doc https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-app-setup-policies 
  2. Currently it is not possible to add an app automatically to all chats and channels across tenant.
  3. There is no alternative to add to all chats/channels across tenant. However please refer these Graph APIs to add app to specific users, chats, teams etc. Please refer this doc for Proactive app installation in Teams -  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/graph-api/proactive-bots-and-messages/graph-proactive-bots-and-messages?tabs=dotnet#proactive-app-installation-in-teams 
  4. Currently bots are not supported in private/shared channels.
