Black Background Circles Bot

You recorded a nice circle in Telegram and want it on TikTok. A circle on its own saves as a small round clip that looks awkward in a feed. The bot fixes this with one forward: your circle lands on a black background and becomes a normal vertical video. 🎬

The idea from the bot's description: forward a circle and get a video for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts and VK Video.

Getting your clip

1. Open the bot and press /start.
2. Forward a circle. Any one from your chats or Saved Messages.
3. Wait a bit. Processing usually takes little time and depends on length.
4. Download the video and upload it to the social network you need.

The bot has no commands; everything works through forwarding. If nothing happens, make sure you are forwarding an actual circle and not a regular video.

Where circles come from

Circles in Telegram are video messages: you hold the record button, switch to video mode, and the camera films in a round frame. The maximum video message length is 60 seconds. 🎥

The format was made for quick replies in a chat. It is awkward for social feeds: a square video under a round mask, with no margins. A black background turns it into a familiar vertical frame.

Why black

• A recognizable look. A circle in the middle of a dark screen became a mark of talking-to-camera clips.
• It stays out of the way of text. Subtitles and captions read easily on black.
• It fits vertical. Short videos on these platforms are watched in 9:16.
• A consistent series. A run of clips looks tidier than random crops.

What to add afterwards

The bot makes the base; the rest is up to you. Add subtitles in the social network's own editor, along with music and a cover. ✂️

If you need on-screen text, leave room above or below the circle: the black margins around it are there for that.

Things to watch

• Quality. A circle is filmed at modest resolution, so stretching it over the full screen will not work. A circle on black looks more honest.
• Other people's circles. Do not publish other people's videos without permission.
• Personal data. Check that no documents or addresses are in frame.
• Platform rules. Each network has its own requirements for length and content.

The bottom line: for a regular circle format, the bot saves minutes of editing every time. 👍
