Video without choosing quality: "Instant video" mode and auto-download
The bot no longer drops your link if you didn't pick a quality in time: after 2 minutes it sends the 720p video by itself. And in /settings you can turn on "Instant video" mode, where the video arrives right away with an MP3 button under it.
The @VideonerBot bot just got more convenient for anyone who doesn't want to choose a quality every time. These changes came from our users' requests — thank you for writing to us!
Didn't choose in time? The bot sends the video itself
It used to go like this: you send a link, switch to something else, and when you come back you see "no quality chosen — skipping this link".
Now, if you don't tap a single button within 2 minutes, the bot downloads 720p video (or the closest quality that fits in Telegram) and sends it. Instead of the buttons you'll see a note explaining why the video arrived without a choice.
If you've started choosing — for example, opened the subtitles — the bot decides nothing for you and waits for your choice, as before.
"Instant video" mode
If you almost always just want the video, turn on a mode where the bot never asks about quality:
- Send the bot the /settings command (it's in the menu too).
- Tap ⚡ Instant video — a ✅ appears next to it.
- Tap ✅ Done.
Now for every link the bot immediately sends a 720p video, with a 🎵 MP3 button under it. Need just the sound? Tap it and the bot sends an mp3.
Need a different quality, say 1080p? Turn the mode off with the same button in /settings and the usual choice comes back. The mode is off by default, so nothing changes for those who like to choose themselves.
And there are flags
For a one-off, without touching settings, add a flag after the link: -audio — sound as mp3 right away, -hd — video in the best quality. More in the article on the -audio and -hd flags: download without choosing quality.
