Instant Media Downloader for your chats!
What it can do
Just like its sibling, this bot is like a Swiss army knife when you need to download a video from well-known resources directly to your Telegram group, you can also send a link to a video, music, file, picture, etc. However, this bot is designed for ease of use in groups. Without any unnecessary questions - you put a link in the group, and it outputs the result in the form of a video or whatever it could manage for you.
What it cannot do
Of course, the bot isn’t omnipotent and it's impossible to cover all the resources in the world, and the project's policy is to not take any authentication data from the user. Thus, the bot can only reach what is publicly accessible without logging in, passwords, and other restrictions.
How much it costs
The bot offers various subscription options with different sets of features, perks, etc. All details can be found by clicking the "Premium subscription" button in the bot itself. And yes, it also works for free, details are available there.
How to set it up quickly
The logic for it to download a video and send it to your group:
You have a group and you're an admin, then you add the bot to ADMINS.
You throw the link into the group: https://youtu.be/bRL6sz4RBAE
Wait for it to check everything and upload it to the group.
That's it, it's that simple.
P.S. Depending on the tariff and the load, the speed of work varies.

How to set it up slowly
Let's continue, remember the following, the bot is intended to work in groups, you do not need to throw links to it personally, it will not work.
Some available commands are given to the bot in the group, their list can be seen in the private chat with the bot in the main menu help.
Let's complicate the previous point a bit and look at some details:
Why it is not downloading
As previously mentioned, the bot isn’t omnipotent. And only publicly accessible content, no logins, passwords, and other restrictions.
First of all, if something goes wrong, the bot will not send anything, well, that's how it is for today. If you want to understand what's going wrong, you can send the link to its sibling: @download_it_bot and look for errors.
Again, keep in mind that the bot isn't omnipotent and may not support some rare specific resources at all.
Sometimes there is a situation when the resource has made some changes and it will take some time for the bot to adapt to these changes (we are talking about the need to update some components or changes in the logic of the bot's work), if it is popular like YouTube, the adaptation will be faster, if it's rare like Zen, it may not happen at all, as the changes to the resource were fatal and the systems under the hood of the bot can no longer work with it.
In general, you can also come to the support group, select the right topic for this bot, and try to share the problem you are experiencing. Info about the group at the end of the article.

Remove description
Not everyone likes cluttering up a group with videos with a long "bearded" description. You can remove the descriptions from the video through the command that the group admin should give: /no_caption@InstantMediaBot
Download video only
There is no such option.
Download faster
There are options:
For example, purchase a subscription, see the section "How much does it cost".
It is also possible that you are lucky and someone has already downloaded the material before you, then the bot will send you the already downloaded from the cache.
Downloaded content does not play
Yes, this can happen, for example, the source gave an incorrect file, or there was some problem during the download.
No available options
In addition to the fact that the resource could change something, sometimes the bot may get an error for a new video or the absence of necessary permissions. This is observed for freshly released videos on VK and YouTube. For example, a recently finished stream or a freshly uploaded video that has not yet been processed. You will need to wait a bit and then send the link to its brother @download_it_bot to the video again, click the "Refresh Metadata" button. This will lead to updating the data anyhow and sending the link to the bot in the group should work.
Tips and tricks
From the experience of working with YouTube:
This bot has a choice of resolutions in the main menu hint in private messages, for example, a command to the bot in the group so that the group tries to choose resolutions no higher than 360p which is enough for small screens:
/video_quality 360@InstantMediaBot
View quota
Send the command to the group: /status@InstantMediaBot
View downloaded content
There is no such option.

Tips and tricks
From the experience of working with YouTube:
- Choose 360p resolution for watching on small screens of a phone or tablet
- For larger screens but without any fuss, try to take 720p resolution
