# telegram.InputMediaVideo

class telegram.InputMediaVideo(media, caption=None, width=None, height=None, duration=None, supports_streaming=None, parse_mode=None, thumb=None, caption_entities=None, filename=None)

  Bases: `telegram.files.inputmedia.InputMedia`

  Represents a video to be sent.

  Note

  - When using a `telegram.Video` for the `media` attribute. It will take the width, height and duration from that video, unless otherwise specified with the optional arguments.

  - `thumb` will be ignored for small video files, for which Telegram can easily generate thumb nails. However, this behaviour is undocumented and might be changed by Telegram.

  Parameters

    - media (`str` | filelike object | `bytes` | `pathlib.Path` | `telegram.Video`) –

      File to send. Pass a file_id to send a file that exists on the Telegram servers (recommended), pass an HTTP URL for Telegram to get a file from the Internet. Lastly you can pass an existing `telegram.Video` object to send.

      Changed in version 13.2: Accept `bytes` as input.

    - filename (`str`, optional) –

      Custom file name for the video, when uploading a new file. Convenience parameter, useful e.g. when sending files generated by the `tempfile` module.

      > New in version 13.1.

    - caption (`str`, optional) – Caption of the video to be sent, 0-1024 characters after entities parsing.

    - parse_mode (`str`, optional) – Send Markdown or HTML, if you want Telegram apps to show bold, italic, fixed-width text or inline URLs in the media caption. See the constants in `telegram.ParseMode` for the available modes.

    - caption_entities (List[`telegram.MessageEntity`], optional) – List of special entities that appear in the caption, which can be specified instead of parse_mode.

    - width (`int`, optional) – Video width.

    - height (`int`, optional) – Video height.

    - duration (`int`, optional) – Video duration.

    - supports_streaming (`bool`, optional) – Pass `True`, if the uploaded video is suitable for streaming.

    - thumb (filelike object | `bytes` | `pathlib.Path`, optional) –

      Thumbnail of the file sent; can be ignored if thumbnail generation for the file is supported server-side. The thumbnail should be in JPEG format and less than 200 kB in size. A thumbnail’s width and height should not exceed 320. Ignored if the file is not uploaded using multipart/form-data. Thumbnails can’t be reused and can be only uploaded as a new file.

      Changed in version 13.2: Accept `bytes` as input.
