Can an admin pin an app in Teams for all users?

Hello, we have built a PowerApp that is currently a tab in one of our Teams' Channels. Is it possible to pin this as an app on the left nav of Teams like Smartsheet is here? If so, is it possible, as...

    Well, the doc says this

    "After you edit or assign a policy, it can take a few hours for changes to take effect."

    also check this

    "Why can't I find an app in the Add pinned apps pane
    Not all apps can be pinned to Teams through an app setup policy. Some apps may not support this functionality. To find apps that can be pinned, search for the app in the Add pinned apps pane. Tabs that have a personal scope (static tabs) and bots can be pinned to the Teams desktop client and these apps are available in the Add pinned apps pane."

AndresGorzelany I feel silly, but realized I was not applying the policy to users correctly.... Once doing so with our set of test users, we're seeing the app appear in the left nav now. However, the logo is a bit wonky...  I tried replacing the existing outline.png in the app's zip file with my a 32x32 image, but the logo image itself is either way too small, or the background is very dark... even though I used the same color as what's being used natively in Teams..... Any tricks for that?

 

 

Once we're ready for all-company go live, I will apply it globally. Thank you for your time. Learned a lot regardless of my specific issue. 

 

Enjoy the weekend,
