Getting started

Add the bot to a group and see the first delivery.

1. Open the bot

Open @InstantMediaBot and press Start. In a private chat the bot only points you to the mini app — it does not process links sent to it directly.

InstantMediaBot📺 InstantMediaBot automatically downloads video and photo from links posted in your groups. Features: 🗃 Supported services: Instagram · TikTok · YouTube · Twitter / X · Facebook · VK · Spotify · SoundCloud · Audiomack · Pinterest 💬 Per-chat language: set the bot's interface language for this group 🔒 Admins-only mode: react only to links from group admins 🪟 Controls for hiding media captions, progress messages and reaction emojis 🔀 Audio-only export: save just the audio track with the cover as preview How to use: — Tap the "Add to group" button to open the mini-app. — Use the "Add chat" button to pick your group and add the bot as administrator (the required permissions are already selected). — Set the language, admins-only mode, caption / progress / reaction hiding and audio-only export. After that the bot watches every message in the group and automatically delivers media from supported links.

2. Add it to a group

Use Add to group (or Manage chats once the bot is in a group) to open the mini app, pick or create the chat, and add the bot as an administrator — the permission it needs (posting messages) is already selected. Full steps: Adding the bot to a group.

3. Post a link

Post a message containing a link to any supported service in the group. The bot reacts with ⏳, then replies with the media:

If the group is still on the free plan and nobody has ever downloaded that exact link through our bots before, nothing arrives — see Cache vs. fresh download.

4. Adjust the settings

Open the mini app, select the chat, and walk through Settings: admins-only mode, hidden captions or progress messages, audio-only exports, resolution and file-size caps, and the chat's interface language.

Something not working?

  • Check Admins-only mode — if it is on, only links from group administrators get a reply.
  • Statistics and logs in the mini app show the status of every recent link, including why one was skipped.
  • The FAQ covers the common cases; the support group @madbots_talk covers the rest.
