How to Add image/logo for Bot in MS Teams - microsoft-teams

I have created a Bot and uploaded it to MS teams. I have already added the icons in the manifest.The uploaded icons appear only at the heading but not in the conversation.

I've heard this is apparently a "bug" that the relevant Microsoft team is dealing with, but, basically, you need to ALSO set the icon in the Azure portal, in your bot registration. Go to the Settings screen, and there's an option to upload an icon - you can use the same one you used in your Teams manifest of course.
Don't forget to click the "Save" button at the top of the settings screen when you're done. See example screenshot:
I forgot to add, very importantly, that this can take up to 24 hours for the change to come through, I think

How do you link from a Personal Tab app to a Channel Tab app in Microsoft Teams?

Update
There's a bug in teams-js which is causing getContext to return an empty string for subEntityId, a required field for deeplinking to an app within a channel within a team.
Original Question
I have a requirement to link from a Personal Tab app to a Channel Tab app. Is this possible? If so, how do you do it? I couldn't find any relevant info in the docs.
Detail
We have an app which runs in the Channel Tab and the Personal Tab. If you're viewing our app from your Personal Tab, you'll see a list of items which when clicked should navigate to our app in a Channel Tab associated with the clicked item. The channel could be under a different team, but it will be in the same organization, and you are already a member of that team and channel.
You can accomplish this via Deep Linking. See more at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/concepts/build-and-test/deep-link-application?tabs=teamsjs-v2#generate-a-deep-link-to-your-tab but specifically here is an example cited in that page:
Link to a configurable tab itself:

How to add custom UI elements inside chat window using MS Teams Toolkit?

I previously worked on creating VSTO and Office addins for MS Outlook, Excel and Word using C# VS. Now I have a plan to build one for MS teams. So, I checked online and found the documentation.
But I didn't found that how I can add custom UI elements (text, buttons etc.) inside a chat window. For example: Teams suggested replies shows suggestions inside button above the chat textbox.
Do anybody have an idea that how I can achieve this one?
you might want to start with these docs:
build a command-response bot that you can customize the messages in chat window to either text or adaptive cards (on which you can have buttons).
and notification bot doc which has more information on customizing adaptive card for Teams apps.
there are also docs on message extension on the same doc site, you can take a look to decide which is what you want to build.

Trying to close MS Teams meeting app sidepanel view programatically

I developed an MS Teams meeting app which based on documentation, when added to a meeting would have a tab-config dialog for example like here.
After we click Save, we would get the sidepanel view of the app for example like here.
I am wondering if there is any way or meeting api available to close the sidepanel view or close the app programmatically rather than the user clicking the cross icon or removing the app.
Thanks!
Currently there is no option to close the meeting sidepanel programmatically.
Could you please raise a user voice here:

How to show Office addin taskpane icon default in message surface?

Latest office add-in icons showing in the the overflow menu in the outlook explorer view. But I want to show this in default without setting any mail settings. ( check the attach image, I want show task bar button shows in the message surface area )
Do I need to add any changes in manifest file ?
We currently do not support pinning on an email surface from the Manifest. It can only be done through the settings option inside of Outlook Web app and is specific to the client. Add-ins are also pinned on the email surface by default when installing from the marketplace from Outlook Web App (unless the user specifically unpins it)

How i can add button to main menu not inside message

How to add button to main menu behind "Mark all as read"
instead of showing button inside email body read document but it doesn't help me to find solution,
You cannot get your add-in icon displayed in any place you like. The add-in controls are defined by manifest and displayed in predefined locations of particular client (Outlook Web, Outlook desktop for Windows or Mac, Mobile). Up to developers (Microsoft team) to define the place where the add-in controls will be displayed.
EDIT:
There are two places where add-ins may appear in the client interface. This depends on what type of add-in you have created. There are command add-in and contextual add-in. Both of them will appear somewhat in the space of the message view anyway. The following are examples of where they appear withing the interface ...
And for web view ...
