Video Quality Selection for Watching and Saving

Users of the Beta version of Telegram for Android 11.2.3 have now can choose video quality when viewing and saving certain videos.

Here’s what’s known about this feature:

• The option to select quality is available only for videos processed by Telegram’s servers to support HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) playback.

• As of today (October 17, 2024), users do not have a method to upload videos in a way that guarantees Telegram will process them for HLS support. Users have observed that quality selection for the same uploaded video may sometimes disappear or reappear. Forwarded HLS videos or videos from link previews may also lack the quality selection option. It’s worth noting that the messenger might need some time to process the video before offering quality options.

• When viewing, to choose video quality, you need to tap the three dots icon on the video playback screen and select "Quality" from the menu.

• Depending on the specific file, Telegram provides several quality options optimized for streaming. For Full HD videos, Telegram generally offers choices in 1080p, 720p, and 480p. There’s also an automatic quality selection option in this same menu.

• The quality option labeled “Source” refers to the uncompressed version of the video that hasn’t been re-encoded by Telegram.

• When saving such videos to your device, the app will automatically prompt you to choose the quality.

• HLS videos do not display chips with size or download status. The app always shows them as fully downloaded videos with only their duration indicated.

Examples of HLS videos:
• https://tg-me.sbs/hls_samples/2
• https://tg-me.sbs/dvachannel/147194

New Ways to Change Video Speed

In the Beta version of Telegram for Android 11.3.0, users have access to an updated slider for controlling video playback speed.

In addition, users can now rewind videos at any speed. To do this, you need to tap anywhere on the screen with the video, and then, without lifting your finger from the screen, swipe left or right to decrease or increase the speed. After the user releases their finger from the screen, the video starts playing again at the speed set using the slider.
