Send videos to Telegram channels and groups through a bot — no OAuth, just a bot token.
Telegram integration
Telegram Bot API publishing: a bot you control posts videos to channels and chats it's a member of.
Key capabilities
- Bot-token connection — POST /v1/connections/telegram/connect with a token from @BotFather.
- Channel posting — bot must be an administrator of the target channel.
- Caption support — HTML/Markdown caption under the video.
- Streaming — videos stream in-app, not just as file attachments.
Use cases
- Drop finished cuts into a team's review channel.
- Auto-publish episodes to a subscriber channel.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a bot token?+
Talk to @BotFather on Telegram, create a bot, and paste the token into the Telegram connect flow.
Bot can't post to my channel?+
Add the bot as a channel administrator with post permission first.
Size limits?+
Bots upload up to 50 MB through the standard API; larger files use local Bot API servers.
Best practices
- Use a dedicated bot per environment — tokens are cheap and isolation is cleaner.
- Store chatId in config; it differs between preview and posting channels.
