StreamLive Pro

Connect a Telegram channel or group for posting

Connect a Telegram channel or group to StreamLive Pro so your videos and posts go there with your other networks: the bot, admin rights, settings and fixes.

Updated November 5, 2026 · 4 min read

StreamLive Pro posts to Telegram through its bot, @Stream_Live_Pro_bot. You prove which Telegram account is yours by pressing Start in the bot, add the bot to your channel as an admin with the "Post messages" right, and the channel appears in Connections by itself, with its picture, name and subscriber count. From then on it is a tick box on Publish everywhere, in Post from groups and in scheduling, like any other network. The bot never posts as you, only as itself, and only where you choose.

Before you start

• A Telegram channel or group where your own Telegram account is an admin or the creator. Nobody can link a channel that is not theirs: the account that pressed Start must be an admin there.
• Each connected channel or group counts as one publishing account on your plan. See /pricing?lang=en.
• This page is about Telegram as a destination. To use a Telegram channel as the source that posts everywhere, see Post to every network from a WhatsApp or Telegram group. To go live on Telegram, see How to live stream to a Telegram channel or group.

Steps

1. Open the wizard. In Connections find the Telegram card and click Connect a channel or group.
2. Open the bot and press Start. Click Open the bot. Telegram opens with a one-time code; press Start. The page changes to Account linked. On a computer without Telegram, open the link the page shows on your phone.
3. Add the bot as an admin. Click Add to a channel (or Add to a group). Telegram's own add-admin screen opens with the right rights. By hand: open the channel, tap its name, Edit, Administrators, Add Admin, search for the bot, make sure "Post Messages" is on, Save. In a group it is enough to add the bot as a member.
4. Wait for it to appear. The page shows the channel by itself within seconds. If it does not, paste the channel's @name, its t.me link or its ID and press Check and connect. Another way: forward any post from the channel to the bot.
5. Set the channel options. On the card, under More options: Show in publish lists, Silent posts (no notification sound) and Link previews.
6. Send a test. Press Test post. A short message appears in the channel. Press Check at any time to confirm the bot can still post.
7. Publish. Open Publish everywhere, write the post, tick the Telegram channel with your other networks, and choose Now or Schedule. See Post to Threads, Bluesky and Telegram at the same time.

How posts look in Telegram

Telegram limits how long a caption under a photo or video can be and how large a file a bot may send; its rules are in the Telegram Bot API (checked 5 November 2026). StreamLive Pro handles both cases as shown in the table.

What can go wrong

A channel that needs attention is taken off the publish lists until it works again, and a notice appears in the bell. Scheduled posts to it fail until it is fixed: My post failed on one network.

Frequently asked questions

Does StreamLive Pro post as me in Telegram?

No. Posts come from the StreamLive Pro bot, and only in channels and groups where you made it an admin.

Can I connect a private Telegram channel?

Yes. The steps are the same; only an admin of the channel can add the bot as an admin.

Can I post to several Telegram channels at once?

Yes. Connect each one; they appear as separate tick boxes on the publish screen, and each counts as one publishing account.

Can I schedule posts to a Telegram channel?

Yes. Telegram channels can be scheduled like any other network, and the post goes out at the set time even when your computer is off.

How do I stop posting to a channel?

Press Remove on its card and confirm. A second question asks whether the bot should also leave the channel. OK removes the bot from the channel too. Cancel still removes the channel from StreamLive Pro, but the bot stays in the channel until you remove it in Telegram yourself. Posts already published stay in Telegram either way.
