Telegram to send playable video

Question

What is the trick to send playable video to telegram?

I can see two types of videos in telegram,

• One has a "Play Video" option that allows people Play Video Without Downloading on Telegram
• The other type does not have such option but only provide "Download" option

What's the trick to get the first result?

Notes,

• I know telegram clients support mp4 videos, and I've seen playable videos in telegram that's really huge, both in resolution and in size
• I'm using node-telegram-bot-api to send videos

Answer 1

Not playable video is a video sent as a document without compression. You can also sent photos without compression and more. Playable video is a video or animation object.

Answer is you should use sendVideo, not sendDocument method. Also the video should be MP4 (or animation in gif/webm), otherwise telegram can still send it as a document
