phone.sendGroupCallMessage

Send an in-call message to all participants of a video chat/livestream or live story, including in RTMP mode, see here » for more info.

The send_as field can only be populated for live stories, where it optionally selects the displayed author. If omitted, the server automatically selects the appropriate author. Do not populate it for video chats/livestreams.

Video chats/livestreams and live stories support animated emoji reactions », encoded as messages containing only a standard available reaction emoji or a single custom emoji entity.

For a paid live story comment, pass the user-confirmed donation amount in allow_paid_stars. For commenters other than the live story owner, this amount must be at least the current groupCall.send_paid_messages_stars minimum. A higher amount may be donated to highlight the comment. The live story owner may comment without populating allow_paid_stars. To send a standalone paid live story donation, pass a positive allow_paid_stars value and an empty message, see here » for the full flow.

groupCall

Describes a group call.

If the min flag is set, this is a partial (min) constructor: only a subset of its fields contains up-to-date information, and it must be merged into a previously cached non-min constructor as described below. If no full (non-min) constructor for this call was cached previously, the min constructor must be discarded.

When min is set, the following mandatory fields may be used: id, access_hash, participants_count and version. In addition, only the following conditional fields may be used if present, subject to the usual version check:

  • conference
  • rtmp_stream
  • listeners_hidden
  • title
  • messages_enabled
  • record_start_date and record_video_active
  • schedule_date
  • send_paid_messages_stars

When min is set, the following fields must be ignored, keeping the values from the previously cached non-min constructor:

  • join_muted
  • can_change_join_muted
  • schedule_start_subscribed
  • can_start_video
  • creator
  • can_change_messages_enabled
  • unmuted_video_count
  • unmuted_video_limit
  • stream_dc_id
  • invite_link
  • default_send_as

The join_date_asc flag is set only when the call is created and never changes afterwards, so it too is not applied from a min constructor.
