Send Video to multiple chat id? #52

Closed alfa934 closed 10 months ago

alfa934 commented 10 months ago

I've edited the code so that once it records the video, it will send to multiple chat id. So far, I've only been successful at sending messages. Every time I try to send the video to multiple id, it only gets sent to one chat. I'm a novice programmer so I don't quite understand the whole code, but is it possible to send a video to multiple chat id? Thank you 🙏

Nevermind, I was able to create a new function and send it to 2 users. Even though it's a simple solution

So do you just run the send twice with different chat_id? You can set up a chat group I think with multiple id's. I dont think you can specify multiply recipients in a send ????

Yeah, that's basically what I did. I made a copy of the send video function but with a for loop repeating the whole thing and it iterates over a list of id chat. So, i have chat_id (main id) and chat_id_list to send to other id. But because of that, it's very slow in sending, but it works xD

I tried using a group chat but it didnt send the video to the group, but maybe I didnt write it properly. Worth another try
