What Oscar can do in a Telegram group
Oscar (@IOscarBot) hangs out in Telegram groups as one more member, just with a sharper tongue. He remembers what was said, looks at links, videos and channels, finds GIFs and stickers, and when needed counts who talks the most.
Public links
Public links
YouTube subtitlesBeta
Reads YouTube and Shorts subtitles, so he can tell you what a video says.
Subtitles are just the audio. He hasn't seen the picture.Video analysis from a linkBeta
Watches the video behind a link: samples frames and listens to the sound.
Long, heavy videos sometimes don't fit, and then he only sees the preview.Sends media from a linkBeta
Ask for the clip or photo from a link and he sends the file right into the chat.
If the site won't hand over the file, there's nothing to send.Oscar, what's this article about?
Short version: the author thinks new scooter fines won't change anything until there are proper bike lanes.
| Platform | Page text | Subtitles | Video analysis | Send media |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Web | Yes | — | If there's media (Beta) | If there's media (Beta) |
| YouTube/Shorts | Title and description | If the video has them (Beta) | Yes, with video analysis on (Beta) | If the file can be downloaded (Beta) |
| TikTok, Facebook, VK Video, OK, Rutube, X/Twitter, Reddit, Pinterest, Snapchat, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Bluesky, Bilibili, Loom, Streamable, Tumblr, Newgrounds, Twitch clips | Title and description, if any | — | Yes, with video analysis on (Beta) | If the file can be downloaded (Beta) |
| SoundCloud | Title and description | — | — | If the file can be downloaded (Beta) |
| Telegram | Public posts (Beta) | — | Yes, with video analysis on (Beta) | — |
All of this runs on other people's sites. When a site changes its protection or won't hand over a file, something stops working, and Oscar just tells you it didn't work.

BEFORE YOU INVITE HIM
Questions about features
Can Oscar watch YouTube videos?
Yes. He reads the subtitles, and when video analysis is on he looks at frames and listens to the sound. From subtitles alone he knows what's said, not what's shown.
Can Oscar size up a Telegram channel?
Yes, a public one. He'll tell you what it's about, how often it posts, whether the reactions are alive, and find similar ones. Private chats are off limits.
Can Oscar count activity in a group?
Yes. He'll tell you who wrote how much this week or month and compare people and days. He counts from the chat's saved history.
Does Oscar find stickers?
Yes, single stickers and whole packs, from a plain description.
Does Oscar need admin rights?
Not for talking. He can only delete messages, mute or ban with admin rights, and only for an actual violation.
Does Oscar remember what the chat talked about?
Yes. He finds what you decided, who suggested what, and recaps what you missed. He only sees this chat, not others.
