Type:telegram.InputFile
Parameters:
  • media (str | filelike object | pathlib.Path | telegram.Video) – File to send. Pass a file_id to send a file that exists on the Telegram servers (recommended), pass an HTTP URL for Telegram to get a file from the Internet. Lastly you can pass an existing telegram.Video object to send.
  • caption (str, optional) – Caption of the video to be sent, 0-1024 characters after entities parsing.
  • parse_mode (str, optional) – Send Markdown or HTML, if you want Telegram apps to show bold, italic, fixed-width text or inline URLs in the media caption. See the constants in telegram.ParseMode for the available modes.
  • caption_entities (List[telegram.MessageEntity], optional) – List of special entities that appear in the caption, which can be specified instead of parse_mode.
  • width (int, optional) – Video width.
  • height (int, optional) – Video height.
  • duration (int, optional) – Video duration.
  • supports_streaming (bool, optional) – Pass True, if the uploaded video is suitable for streaming.
  • thumb (filelike object | pathlib.Path, optional) – Thumbnail of the file sent; can be ignored if thumbnail generation for the file is supported server-side. The thumbnail should be in JPEG format and less than 200 kB in size. A thumbnail’s width and height should not exceed 320. Ignored if the file is not uploaded using multipart/form-data. Thumbnails can’t be reused and can be only uploaded as a new file.

Note

  • When using a telegram.Video for the media attribute. It will take the width, height and duration from that video, unless otherwise specified with the optional arguments.
  • thumb will be ignored for small video files, for which Telegram can easily generate thumb nails. However, this behaviour is undocumented and might be changed by Telegram.
