Videos over 2 GB: the bot shows where to download them
Telegram doesn't let bots send files over 2 GB. Now the bot explains this and offers buttons right away to download the same video on the website or with the extension.
Telegram has a limit: a bot can't send a file larger than 2 GB. A long video in high quality easily exceeds it — for example, a multi-hour lecture in 1080p.
What the bot does now
- Heavy qualities. If some qualities are known to exceed 2 GB, the bot hides them and explains why. Two buttons appear under the quality picker: «🌐 Download on the website» and «🧩 Download with the extension».
- Even the lowest quality is over 2 GB. In the bot you can download only the audio, and the video — via the same buttons.
- The file turned out to be over 2 GB after downloading. This happens when the size isn't known in advance. The bot explains what happened and offers the same two buttons — or you can pick a lower quality.
Why the website and the extension can do it
The videoner.download website and the browser extension have no Telegram limit: the file is saved straight to your device. The bot's buttons open them with this video already loaded — no need to paste the link again.
