Telegram bot that Downloads and sends Youtube Videos

Telegram Youtube-Downloader

This bot sends videos from Youtube to Telegram. I made this bot because when I was in vacations I had a social media flat where I couldn't access Youtube (cruise ship aka. Aida). I just could use messengers like Telegram.

Because Telegram has a limitation for sending videos the largest possible videos that could be send could have a size of 50MB. Telegram recently made a post where they wrote that they will increase this value soon. Have fun with this little work around :D

Important infos:

• Mutltiple users at the same time possible
• Self hosting => Telegram blocks bots that violate the copright
  • You can use the bot on your own risk
