Video to Circle: Round Video Bot

Round videos in Telegram are normally recorded on the camera in the moment. But what if the clip is already shot and you want to send it as a circle? The Video to Circle bot handles this: you send a video and get the same thing back, but round. 🎥

The bot's description fits into one phrase: to make a circle, just send me a video.

A circle in a minute

1. Press /start. The bot explains what it needs from you.
2. Send a video. Any clip that fits the size.
3. Wait for the reply. The bot returns a finished circle.
4. Forward it. To friends, a chat or a channel.

That is all. No editors or extra apps to install.

Limits to remember in advance

Circles in Telegram have a technical duration limit of about a minute. A longer clip has to be trimmed beforehand.

• Duration. No more than 60 seconds.
• File size. No more than 12 MB, according to descriptions of the bot.
• One task at a time. While the bot processes one video, it is better not to send another.

If the clip is heavy, compress it in any video program or cut out the most important part.

Effects and commands

The bot has three commands. /start begins the dialog, /help gives a reference, and /effects opens the effects. That is where you pick the look of your circle before sending. ✨

The bot's help also explains how to hide the author of a circle when forwarding. That is handy if you do not want recipients to see the sender's name.

Preparing a video so the circle looks good

A circle crops the frame to a round shape at the center. Everything in the corners is lost, so keep the main details near the middle.

1. Crop to a square. Trim the video to a square before sending so the important part stays in frame.
2. Watch the face. In a talking clip, the face should sit in the center.
3. Use good light. A dark video in a small circle becomes a blur.
4. Keep text off the edges. Captions in the corners get cut off.

A word about sound. Round videos are often watched and heard on the go, so speech must be clear. Background noise and music drown out a voice, and in a tiny circle viewers cannot read subtitles. Test the clip with headphones before sending.

If you want to experiment, try different effects on the same clip and compare the results. That is the quickest way to learn which style suits you.

Why make circles from ready videos

• Channels. They vary the feed: a short explanation or greeting feels livelier than text.
• Greetings. A pre-recorded video can be sent as a personal message.
• Teaching. Short demonstrations for a group.

Privacy matters

You are sending a video to a third-party bot. If the recording shows other people, children or confidential material, think about whether to do it. Publishing someone else's video without permission is a bad idea. ⚠️

Contacts for support and news are listed in the bot profile. No passwords or personal data are needed to use it.
