How to make a video message from a video with music

To make a video message from a video with music you will need the “Video to Circle” Telegram bot.

Start the bot → choose your language → send it your video with music from the gallery.

The bot will reply with a ready-made video message that you can forward to any chat or channel:

How to share the video message without the bot’s label is covered in our article “How to forward a video message without the ‘Forwarded’ label on Telegram”.

Why a video message comes out without sound

A video message can come out without sound for several reasons:

  1. Telegram has no permission to use the microphone in the phone settings
  2. Wireless headphones are connected to the phone — the sound is recorded through their microphone while the headphones are not near you
  3. The phone’s microphone was accidentally covered with a finger during recording, so no sound was captured

FAQ

Can you add music to a video message that is already recorded?

No. Telegram has no built-in editor for recorded video messages.

Why is the voice hard to hear in a video message because of the music?

It is down to the phone’s microphone. While you record a video message, the phone tries to capture both the loud music and your voice at the same time. To fix it, turn the music on your phone down a little before recording or speak louder.

Can you add several tracks to a video message?

Not directly while recording in Telegram, because the phone cannot play several songs at once.
