You can upload a profile video in Telegram. You can also adjust this video in many ways. We explain how to make such a video for your Telegram profile.

Set Telegram profile video

Telegram is packed with useful and fun features and the profile video has recently become one of them. You can now upload a video to your profile page and choose a frame of it as a profile picture for chats. And just like other videos, you can also improve the quality of your profile video with the built-in media editor or decorate yourself with animated stickers. Time to get started!

To upload a video to your Telegram profile, follow the steps below:

• Open Telegram and tap the side menu
• Tap your profile picture
• Take a video or select one from the menu
• Adjust the video via the media editor if desired

You can tilt, flip and add text, stickers and drawings via the four buttons at the bottom of the video. When you’re done, tap the check mark to set the profile video.

If you want something different, you can quickly switch back to a previous profile photo or video by tapping ‘Set as main’. Perfect for going back in time and staying young forever.
