Which links can I use?
Public YouTube video and Shorts links. The bot downloads one video at a time, up to two hours in duration. Live streams, private videos and playlist-only links are not supported. YouTube may require sign-in or restrict access from the server; the bot will explain when a download is unavailable.
How private are download links?
Each file receives a long, random URL. Anyone with that link can access the file, so share it only with people you trust. Links expire 24 hours after the file is ready. You can delete the server copy earlier from the bot.
What are the limits?
Two downloads per person can be active or queued at once, with 12 requests per hour. The server processes two downloads at a time. Telegram delivery supports files up to 49 MB; larger files get a direct link instead. Direct downloads are limited to 2 GB and may be restricted further when storage is busy.
What information is stored?
The service keeps your Telegram user/chat IDs, requested links, job status and file details to manage your downloads. Media expires after 24 hours; job history is removed after seven days. Account cookies are not accepted. Only save content you own or have permission to download.
