Telegram Tips

Group Calls on Desktop. Voice and video chats on desktop open in a separate window, so you can talk and type at the same time.

When you share your screen, you can choose an individual program to broadcast or your whole screen.

On desktop, when someone starts sharing their screen, that video feed will be pinned automatically.

Group Calls on Tablets. Group video calls are optimized for all platforms – on tablets, tap to open the side panel, which shows a dynamic split-screen view in both portrait and landscape mode.

Noise Suppression is enabled by default, keeping everyone’s audio clear and crisp from any device or location.

You can enable or disable your noise suppression in the voice chat settings.

Group Video Calls. Turn on your camera or share your screen with up to 30 people in group voice chats, as well as unlimited audio-only participants. The limits will be increased soon, creating a space for massive live events.

Tap any video to make it fullscreen and pin it to keep that feed focused as other users join the call. Group video calls are optimized for all devices – for a bigger screen and more display options, try them on your tablet or desktop.

Blogs and Instant View.
telegra.ph is a streamlined tool for creating blogs and articles in your browser. You can add images or videos and format text on both mobile and desktop. Sign in with the @telegraph bot to view stats and edit all your articles from any device.

Instant View is available for all telegra.ph links and many news sites – automatically opening the page in your app with zero load times. Each user can customize their settings with different font styles and themes.

On Android, your Instant View theme matches your app theme.

Personal Pinned Messages. Bookmark important info and memorable moments in one-on-one chats by pinning them for both people – or for yourself only.

Tap the top bar to jump through past pins, or open them all in a separate list to quickly find your favorites.

Scheduled Voice Chats. Group and Channel admins can schedule a voice chat for a specific date and time.

Users will see a countdown at the top of the chat, which they can tap to set a notification for when it goes live.

To schedule a voice chat, open the Group or Channel’s profile page.
Android: tap ⋮ > Start Voice Chat > Schedule Voice Chat
iOS: tap Voice Chat > Schedule Voice Chat

Payments. Merchants can display goods and accept credit card payments in any chat.

Telegram charges no commission and stores no payment info – see how it works with our demo items in @TestStore.

Transactions are securely processed by 8 payment providers, such as Stripe. Any merchant can start using the Payments API right away – no application or approval necessary.
