How it works

  2. 2Keep 50MB, or lower it if the chat is on a weak connection.
  3. 3Compress, download, and send the MP4 as a file.

Telegram is generous. Mobile is not.

Telegram allows 2GB files, so people send camera originals and then wait minutes on LTE. 50MB is large enough to look good and small enough to send in a few seconds.

If you send as a compressed in-chat video, Telegram may transcode it. Send the downloaded MP4 as a file to keep the picture you just encoded.

For a tiny preview, drop the target to 10MB. For archive quality, use 100MB or the desktop app.
