Media types

Under Media types to process you choose which kinds of content the bot checks. Each type is an independent switch — turn off what your group doesn't need watched.

• Photos — checked directly.
• Stickers — checked directly, including animated and video stickers. See also Sticker blacklist for blocking specific packs outright.
• Videos — analysed by a preview frame extracted from the file. Premium groups analyse 10 frames spread across the video instead of one — see Detection & threshold.
• Video notes — the round video messages — analysed the same way as videos.
• GIFs — analysed by a preview frame.
• Web previews — when a member pastes a link and Telegram expands it into a preview card, the preview's main image is checked. Plain text links with no preview card aren't affected.

Turning a type off means the bot ignores it completely — it's not queued, downloaded or scored, so disabling a type you don't need also reduces load against your daily message limit on the Free plan.
