allows you to play media from services like YouTube, Vimeo or SoundCloud directly from Telegram – without having to leave the app. Just tap on the preview of a link to an external media to view the video or listen to the audio file (speaking of audio files, they are now beautifully rendered and played in chats).</p> <center><div> <a href="/file/811140106/2/mVMXO-QaxKY/334ae516cf90b689ef"
