# How to add a bot to a Telegram channel?

#### 1. Go to "Manage Channel" <a href="#id-1-otkroite-upravlenie-kanalom" id="id-1-otkroite-upravlenie-kanalom"></a>

Open your Telegram channel, open channel info and click «Edit»

#### 2. Add the bot to Administrators <a href="#id-2-dobavte-bota-vadministratory" id="id-2-dobavte-bota-vadministratory"></a>

Open “Administrators”. Click “Add Administrator”, enter your bot username in the search bar and add it as an administrator.&#x20;

#### 3. Give all permissions to the bot <a href="#id-3-razreshite-botu-upravlyat-kanalom" id="id-3-razreshite-botu-upravlyat-kanalom"></a>

All permissions are necessary for the bot to make paid posts and pin messages. If you don't give all permissions, some features may not work.&#x20;
