Group mode: the bot posts videos for links shared in the chat
Add @VideonerBot to a group, and it will reply with the video to links posted there. Admins configure its behavior with the /settings command.
You can now add @VideonerBot to a group chat. When someone drops a link to a video, the bot replies with the video itself. Nobody has to open the link or switch to the bot.
How to set it up
- Open @VideonerBot and tap /start.
- Tap the "Add to a group" button and choose a chat.
- That's it — the bot will say hello and get to work.
How the bot behaves in a group
- It downloads videos up to 15 minutes long on its own, no commands needed, picking the quality automatically.
- It doesn't reply to regular messages or butt into the conversation.
- If a video can't be downloaded, the bot quietly removes its message instead of cluttering the chat with errors.
- Links work even without https:// — the bot recognizes them too.
Settings for admins
Group admins can configure the bot with the /settings command:
- Delete links — once the video arrives, the message with the link disappears, and only the video stays in the chat.
- Caption — full, title and source only, or no caption.
- Quality — the highest, or 720p if the group wants to save data.
- Long videos — allow them or keep the 15-minute limit.
Settings are stored separately for each group and are kept even if the group becomes a supergroup. Only admins can change them.
