Telegram has announced that its video calling feature is now available for both ios and Android on its 7th anniversary. The latest alpha version enables all users to access the video calling feature. The one-on-one video calling feature can be accessed by all users through PlayStore or App Store. If it is not immediately available, users should update the app to see the feature.
How to video call on Telegram?
As Telegram has described in their latest blog post, there are a few easy steps to take in order to start video calling on the platform.
Tap the profile page of the person you want to connect with. Users are able to switch video on or off at any time during a call, and the video calls support picture-in-picture mode, so users can continue scrolling through the app if that call gets boring. Video calls will have end-to-end-encryption, Telegram’s blog posts states, one of the app’s defining features for its audio calls and texting.
Users have to follow these steps to make a call on Telegram:
Open the Telegram app.
Go to the profile page or click on the three lines on the left-hand side.
Click on the Calls option from a left-hand side window.
Choose the contact with which call has to be made.
Once the call is active, users can switch to the video mode.
“Our apps for Android and iOS have reproducible builds, so anyone can verify encryption and confirm that their app uses the exact same open-source code that we publish with each update,” according to the post.
Video calls will receive more features and improvements in future versions, as Telegram works toward launching group video calls in the coming months. But for this midyear milestone, you can now enjoy a little one-on-one time with those closest to you, whether they’re in the other room or on another continent.
Today Telegram rolled out a new round of cool updates for the app on both Mobile and Desktop. Some new features that we have never thought of, and which are very fun and cool.
Telegram has today on 26th of July 2020 introduced these features for their messaging app:
Profile Videos
Improved People Nearby features
Unlimited file sharing with up to 2 Gigabytes per file,
Mini-thumbnails for your chat list and notifications,
Group stats
Skin Softener
More Animated Emoji
Multiple Accounts on Telegram Desktop
And much more
Telegram has made a statement that indirectly points out to one of Whatsapp’s weaknesses, which is not allowing users to share media larger 16MB. Telegram shared the statement below:
Telegram users have been sharing files up to 1,5 GB each, which happens to be 93 times larger than 16 MB (which is a totally random number, we have no idea what it could possibly mean.)
Telegram Profile Views
This one is the coolest feature out of them all. With profile videos, we are now able to add videos instead of pictures to our profiles. Incredible isn’t it?
Capture yourself in action, or wink and wave at people like you’re in a magical picture from Harry Potter.
You can edit your profile video before setting it to your profile. Same as with any videos you upload, the media editor will help you enhance the quality or decorate yourself with animated stickers.
Telegram Skin Softener
No need to worry about bad skin day, freckles, wounds, or much more. Telegram now lets you edit your pictures and videos and make your skin shine before using the media. Speaking of the media editor, any photo or video you take with the front-facing camera now has a softened skin option in the media editor. But you don’t need it to look fabulous; you already are fabulous.
Improved People Nearby
You can now find out how far your friends or contacts are in the new Telegram update.
When people contact you via the People Nearby section, you will see how far away they are. And when you start a chat with someone nearby, Telegram will suggest a greeting sticker to break the ice. Luckily, all our stickers are extroverts.
Head over to Contacts > Find People Nearby and try tapping on’ Make myself visible.’
Mini-thumbnails
You can now see a small preview of the media sent to you by other Telegram users and choose whether or not you want to open the message now or later.
Ever wondered whether the incoming picture is just another meme or that selfie you’ve been waiting for? Get an idea of what media is in a message right away, thanks to the new chat list thumbnails.
The new thumbnails also appear in notifications and message search results. Never lose a cat photo again.
Group Stats
According to the official Telegram website, Owners of large groups with over 500 members can now view beautiful, detailed graphs about their activity and growth. Group stats also show a list of top members by the number of messages and average message length.
By the way, the minimum number of subscribers to get Channel Stats has been reduced to 500 as well.
Android Extras
On Android, the music player has been redesigned with sleek new icons and an expandable tracklist. Tap the button on the left to control looping, shuffling, and to reverse the track order so your playlist can moonwalk with you.
The message input bar will grow smoothly as you type a long message. And the video editor now allows cropping and rotating videos to help you hide any evidence you were filming vertically.
Multiple Accounts on Telegram Desktop
Telegram lets you stay signed in on three accounts from different phone numbers without logging out. Telegram mobile users have been enjoying this feature since 2017, and today it’s coming to the multi-platform Telegram Desktop.
More Animated Emoji
Telegram’s animated emoji army keeps growing (note to self: build a bigger barracks). To get one of these in a chat, simply send a message with a single emoji, and watch it jump to life.
These new Telegram features have surely thrilled you enough, and you cannot wait to get these updates as soon as possible. So do I. We are excited to see more fun and useful Telegram updates for its upcoming versions, and we hope they’d be as great as these ones.

Does Telegram pay?
Telegram doesn’t pay because it does not have any monetization program. However, you can sell your products through channel ads or your subscribers. Telegram doesn’t pay for channels or groups itself, and there is no such monetization program inside it. But, Telegram is actually one of the very popular platforms for making money and promoting your business these days.
Running your own Telegram Channel and growing its subscribers can help you a lot for making money online, but you need to have your own business, products, or anything to offer to be able to make money on Telegram. People all over the world create Telegram communities (channels and groups) and mange to make some money out of them. Actually the most successful business in Telegram earns up to $10,000 per month!
Let’s get into the ways of earning money on Telegram:
Create a channel and be its admin
One of the easiest ways of earning money on Telegram is creating a channel and get many subscribers; the more subscribers your channel has, the better. Are you wondering how it would work? People will pay you for advertising about their service or brand in your Telegram channel, so by having a lot of subscribers in your Telegram channel, you’ll get paid more. And there is no limit for the number of people who can join your channel.
The Telegram channel looks like a broadcast feature when you send anything like a photo, video, GIF, message, etc. to the channel, all the subscribers will get them. The best part about Telegram is that it is free and you won’t lose anything.
How to create a Telegram channel?
First of all, open the Telegram app, click or tap on “options” find the “New channel” and click on it.
Now you should enter the channel’s name and description. Remember to choose an interesting profile photo to attract people for joining your Telegram channel. Now click on the tick on the top right of the page.
keep your channel public to let anyone join the channel. Now it is time to choose a unique and brand new channel name.
Add contacts to the channel. Also, you can add more admins for your channel.
Congrats! You have successfully created your Telegram channel, and it is ready to use.
How to make money with Telegram channel?
Now you should choose a topic or some related topics such as Fashion, hairstyle, entertainment, Food, technology, education, etc. and start sharing them with the subscribers and attract people to join your channel. You are free to share photo, text, GIF, video, etc.
The more subscribers you have, the more you will earn money. I know it would be a bit hard, but don’t get disappointed and instead, do your best to add as many as members as possible and think about becoming viral on Telegram. If you want to make money with the minimum number of subscribers, then 500 members can be helpful.
Affiliate marketing
Affiliate marketing is the easiest way for getting paid online. All you need to do is sharing the affiliate link with people and earn the commission from their purchase. You should advertise about a service or product and then share the affiliate link right away. Different companies provide different commission for every product.
Use link shortening service
Although affiliate marketing is an easy way of earning money online, using the link shortening services is even easier. You need to share the short links, and whenever someone clicks on it, you will be paid. There are many link shortening services, and one of them is “Shorte.st.” Share the link with your subscribers and get paid once they click on the link. You’ll be paid about 0.1$ to 5.0$ for each click. Also, there are other link shortening too, if you are not interested in using “Shorte. St” you can search for any other one and use them.
Getting partnered
Getting partnered is only recommended if you have a lot of members in your channel. Businesses and websites are always looking for a new way to expand their business, so they would never decline your partnership request. They provide you a link to share it on your Telegram channel.
Charge for subscription
You should create a private channel, and charge people for joining it, share attractive contents so people would pay to join the channel.
Sell your products and service
Having a Telegram channel for your products is a big help for developing your business and making money online. This is especially relevant and is a big plus for students who, for example, can buy their homework on law essay writing service, and at the same time do what they like and save themselves the hassle of studying.
At last, I have to remind you that things won’t happen overnight. Don’t get disappointed, be patient, and focus on your target.
