There are basically 2 easy ways to do it: 1. Use Telegram Desktop Export This is the easiest option if you don’t want to deal with any code. I mostly use this option also. Install Telegram Desktop on your PC, open the course group, click the 3 dots at the top, then select Export Chat History. Choose Videos only, select where you want the files saved, increase the file-size limit if necessary, and start the export. Telegram will go through the group and download the videos for you. This is what I’d recommend trying first. 1. Use a Python Telegram Library If the group has hundreds of videos and you want more control, you can use a Python library like Telethon. Install it with: “pip install telethon cryptg” Here is the link to Telethon installation process > **[Installation — Telethon 1.45.0 documentation](https://docs.telethon.dev/en/stable/basic/installation.html)** After the installation then create your Telegram API ID and API Hash from [my.telegram.org](http://my.telegram.org) and use a simple Python script to download videos from the group automatically. The good thing about this method is that you can make the script: Download only videos Number the videos automatically Skip videos already downloaded Continue if your internet disconnects Save everything into one course folder Advisibly try the Telegram Export option first. If it gives you problems, then use the Python/Telethon method. Just make sure you’re downloading content you’ve purchased or otherwise have permission to save. Good luck. ---

ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ **The clean way is Telegram Desktop → Export Chat History.** You do not need to download the 419 videos one by one. This works for a group you already belong to, as long as the course owner has not enabled content-protection settings that prevent saving or forwarding. Do not try to bypass those restrictions; ask the seller for an official download option instead. 💻 **01 · Use Telegram Desktop** Install the official Telegram Desktop app on Windows, macOS, or Linux and sign in to the same account that is a member of the course group. On Windows or Linux: 1. Open the Java DSA group. 2. Click the **three-dot menu** in the top-right. 3. Select **Export chat history**. 4. In the export window, enable **Videos**. 5. Disable photos, stickers, voice messages, and other media if you only want lectures. 6. Set the **maximum file size** to the highest available value. 7. Set the date range from the earliest course message to today. 8. Choose a download folder with plenty of free space. 9. Click **Export**. Telegram’s export tool can batch-export media from a chat and lets you filter by media type, maximum file size, and date range. **telegram.org1** 🍎 **02 · macOS note** If the export option is missing on Mac, use the Telegram Desktop version downloaded from the official desktop site rather than the Mac App Store version. The export feature may not be available in the App Store build. **[witness.org](https://blog.witness.org/2022/03/how-to-batch-export-videos-from-telegram/)** 📁 **03 · What the downloaded folder looks like** Telegram normally creates a folder similar to: text ```plaintext Telegram Desktop Export/├── ChatExport_1/│ ├── videos/│ │ ├── video_001.mp4│ │ ├── video_002.mp4│ │ └── ...│ ├── messages.html│ └── result.json ``` The videos may not initially be named according to the lecture titles. Keep `messages.html` or `result.json`; those files preserve the connection between the video filename and the original Telegram message. **[witness.org](https://blog.witness.org/2022/03/how-to-batch-export-videos-from-telegram/)** 🧮 **04 · Check storage before starting** | **Average video size** | **419 videos require approximately** | | --- | --- | | 200 MB | 84 GB | | 500 MB | 210 GB | | 1 GB | 419 GB | | 2 GB | 838 GB | Keep an additional 15–20% free space for temporary files. If the lessons are high quality, a **1 TB external SSD** is the safer choice. ⚡ **05 · Keep the export from stopping** - Use a computer rather than a phone. - Keep Telegram Desktop open. - Prevent the computer from sleeping. - Use a stable Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. - Export in smaller date ranges if the full export fails. - Start with one month or one module to confirm the settings. - Do not select the entire Telegram account if you only need this group. - Leave the computer connected to power. 🗂 **06 · Keep the lessons in order** Telegram’s export may save generic names such as `video_001.mp4`. For reliable ordering: 1. Open the exported `messages.html`. 2. Find the first lesson title. 3. Match its video filename. 4. Rename videos as `001 - Introduction.mp4`, `002 - Arrays.mp4`, and so on. Do not rename files until the export is completely finished, because the HTML/JSON metadata may still refer to the original filenames. 🚫 **If “Export chat history” is missing** | **Problem** | **Fix** | | --- | --- | | Using Telegram mobile | Use Telegram Desktop | | Using Mac App Store version | Install the desktop build from Telegram’s official site | | Videos are larger than the selected limit | Increase the maximum media size | | Only recent videos appear | Change the date range to all time | | Export stops halfway | Export module-by-module | | Videos cannot be saved or forwarded | The group may have content protection enabled | | Not enough disk space | Use an external SSD | ✅ **Best setup** Use Telegram Desktop, export only **Videos** , choose the full date range, set the largest media limit, and save to a drive with at least **500 GB–1 TB free** ---
