If you are tying to submit videos to the GIF Contest, but no w | Telegram Contests

If you are tying to submit videos to the GIF Contest, but no watermark appears and @ContestBot doesn’t recognize them, make sure that you have disabled the soundtrack completely before uploading. Your video file must have no audio channels for Telegram Desktop to recognize it as a “GIF” (and for the bot to accept it).

There are many ways of disabling the audio track in a video. If you’re having difficulties, we suggest googling for a solution that works best for you.
