YouTubot: paste a link, get the video

Found a great video and want to watch it on a flight, or send it to someone who doesn't use YouTube? YouTubot turns a link into a regular file inside your Telegram chat. Paste the URL, pick a format, done. 📥

It handles YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and Twitter, plus over a thousand other platforms according to the developers. The interface comes in English, Russian and Arabic, switchable with /language.

Seven things to do with one video

• Download it. Up to HD 1080, or grab just the audio track.
• Shrink it. The /compressor command cuts file size by up to 90%, the team says. Handy when a clip won't fit messenger limits.
• Summarize it. Get a short digest with the key moments of a long video.
• Translate it. Automatic translation from 99 languages.
• Strip the vocals. Turn a song into a karaoke backing track.
• Identify the music. If a clip plays a track you don't know, the bot names it.
• Trim it. Cut out the part you need without opening an editor.

Search without leaving the chat

Use /search to find videos right in the bot. There's an inline mode too: start typing the bot's name in any chat, and it suggests videos you can send on the spot. 🔎

Free tier and VIP

There's a free mode with daily caps. Without a subscription you get per day:

• 3 media downloads;
• 1 vocal removal;
• 1 YouTube summary;
• 1 video compression.

VIP, via /vip, lifts the limits on every feature. You can pay in crypto: USDT, BTC, TON, ETH, USDC or BNB, and the team has announced Telegram Stars payments as well. Check the current price in the bot menu before buying. 🌟

Your first download, step by step

1. Copy the link using the Share button in YouTube, TikTok or Instagram.
2. Send it to the bot as a single message.
3. Choose the format: video at the quality you want, or audio only.
4. Save the file from the chat to your gallery or keep it in Telegram's cloud.

Nothing happening? Send /start to restart the bot, or /help to reach support.

Things to keep in mind

YouTube and other platforms change their protections from time to time, and downloaders break for a while. YouTubot has been through these outages and fixed them before, so if downloads stall, wait a few hours and check the bot's news channel.

Saving videos for personal viewing rarely causes trouble, though YouTube's rules forbid it, and reposting someone else's content infringes copyright. Don't re-upload downloaded clips to your channel without the creator's permission. ⚖️
