Telegram Bot - Start a clipping run from your phone
Connect Telegram once and start a clipping run by sending the bot a video link. It asks for shape and clip length, shows the cost against your credit balance, and starts the job on your say-so.
What does the MiniMint Telegram bot do?
The bot removes the browser from the START of a job. Connect it once from Settings, then send @MiniMint_clips_bot a link to a video on YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch or X. It asks two questions - vertical 9:16 or landscape 16:9, and clips of 30-60 or 60-90 seconds - then shows an estimated cost beside your current balance and waits for you to tap Start clipping or Cancel. Tapping Start begins a real run and spends credits exactly as the website does, through the same checks: your balance is verified before anything is charged, and if it falls short the project is saved and paused rather than lost. **Your strongest clip comes back to the chat as a video.** The bot ranks the finished clips and sends the best one, then links you to the rest on minimint.pro - one video rather than forty, because a chat is a poor place to receive a folder. It also speaks up when a run fails, stalls or runs short of credits, and a failure message says whether you were charged.
Who uses Telegram Bot?
- Creators who spot a video worth clipping while away from a desk
- Podcasters who want a run going before they get back to the studio
- Anyone who lives in Telegram and not in another dashboard
Why use Telegram Bot?
- You can start a clipping run from your phone without opening the app at all.
- The bot always shows the estimated cost and your balance before anything is spent.
- Nothing starts without an explicit tap, so a stray message cannot charge you.
- It runs the same checks as the website, so a short balance pauses the job instead of losing it.

Frequently asked questions
- Do the finished clips arrive in Telegram?
- The best one does. When a run finishes the bot sends your highest-scoring clip into the chat as a video and links you to the rest on minimint.pro. It is one clip rather than all of them on purpose: Telegram accepts roughly one message a second per chat, so a forty-clip project would spend most of a minute posting and still not be a good way to review them.
- Can I send the bot a video file instead of a link?
- No. Telegram caps what a bot may download at 20MB and real source videos are usually far larger, so the bot takes links only. Upload a file on minimint.pro instead.
- Does it use my credits?
- Yes, exactly as the website does. You see the estimated cost and your balance before you confirm, and the real charge follows the true length of the video once the renderer reads it.
- Can I choose a caption style in the bot?
- No. There are 66 caption presets and a chat keyboard can show about ten, so the bot uses your default and you can change the style on any clip in the editor afterwards.
