What are Telegram video circles and how do I create them?
Video circles (or video messages) in Telegram are short videos that can be sent in chat rooms. They are displayed in a circular format and are played automatically when scrolling through the chat. This format is convenient for instant exchange of emotions, comments or visual information.
