Video messages arrive on Telegram
Table of contents:
Although it has not yet managed to unseat WhatsApp, Telegram continues to gain followers. And it's not surprising, since it usually includes some features before anyone else. Not to mention privacy, a highly controversial topic. Now the application is updated to version 4.0 to include, among other things, video messages Other features have also been included, such as the possibility of paying directly in the application and the InstantView service. Even a new platform called Telescope.But let's see how Telegram video messages work.
Video messages on Telegram
Voice messages are a quick way to communicate with someone. For this reason, many users use them for almost everything. However, Telegram has wanted to go a little further and has incorporated video messages.
To send a video message we just have to touch the microphone button in any Telegram chat As with voice messages, we will have to keep the camera button pressed to record the video. Once recorded, we will release to send the message.
But Telegram developers always try to make it easy for users. Therefore, this new function has two very interesting options.The first is that the video is being compressed and sent while we are recording This means that sending a video does not take too long.
The second has to do with recording. Surely you have thought that holding the camera button down is a bit cumbersome to record. For this reason we can lock the camera in recording mode by simply sliding up This functionality has also been extended to voice messages.
As for reception, video messages will be downloaded and played automatically upon receipt. Of course, we can modify this configuration from the program settings.
In addition, so that we don't miss the written conversation while watching the video, Telegram will allow you to explore the text at the same time.In other words, we will have a PIP (Picture in Picture) functionality that will place the video to one side to leave the rest of the screen free We can even put the video window video on either side of the screen.
Telescope
Related to video messaging, the company has also launched Telescope. It is a platform dedicated to hosting video for those media or public figures that use video to communicate with their followers.
But don't worry, it won't only be available to celebrities. According to the company, can also be used by media such as blogs or anyone who wants to address the general public through a Telegram channel.
With Telescope the platform intends that public videos can be seen from outside Telegram.With this medium you can record videos of up to 1 minute in length (same duration as video messages). In addition, to view them it will not be necessary to have a Telegram account
Each public Telegram channel will now have a web address in the format "telescope.pe". All video messages from that channel will be accessible at this address. As we said, available to everyone.
Whenever a video message is posted on a public channel, will be automatically uploaded to the Telescope address. You can even share these messages through Facebook and Twitter.
In short, Telegram continues to innovate and offer the user new features. The new options will arrive in the next application update, which has already been rolled out. It seems that its developers have no limit. What will be next?
