So let's start our broadcast with a good news.

Recently, we've fixed the bug related to editing messages. Now, if a message has an attached photo, it will not disappear after you save changes. 👩🏻‍🔧
We've updated the bot with minor improvements and bug fixes:

– Formatting at captions for media and files.
– Support for streaming videos.
– Added an error message if an user send not a photo or text while attaching a photo.
– Added an error message if entities can't be parsed while editing a post.
The issue with editing GIFs was fixed. Now it works as it should.
UX improvement: now all symbols related to formatting will be automatically escaped if they are in entities such as usernames, hashtags, links and emails. You don't need to paste \ for this anymore. 👽
Telegram has a problem with the link preview. You may have a trouble with attaching photos at the moment. We notified Telegram Team about that.
We are currently experiencing problems with connection to Bot API servers due to the Telegram fail. Be patient, please!

About admins of channels in Controller Bot

We removed channel admins management interface in the new version of the bot. Below you can find out how it works now:

1. When a new channel is added to the bot, the list of admins with permission to post messages on the channel is synced automatically.

2. To add a new admin to the channel that is already connected, you have to add the admin into the list of admins and click "Update Data" in the channel’s settings in Controller Bot.

3. After the update, some users may have lost access to the bot due to the fact that they had been added to the list of admins only in the bot itself. In order to resolve this issue, you have to add admins to the list of admins in the channel and click "Update Data" in the settings of the channel in Controller Bot.
Why do we recommend to use only one connected bot in Controller Bot?

When you use one bot, all of the channels are located within the same bot. You don’t have to switch bots in order to create a new post on different channels. The same goes for editing sent posts or scheduled posts.

Take into account that one channel can only be connected to one bot.
