# Connect a Telegram channel or group

> Link a Telegram channel or group to quso.ai by adding @AyrshareBot as an admin and sending a link code, then post updates with an image or video.

Post and schedule to a **Telegram channel or group** from quso.ai. quso.ai publishes through **Ayrshare**, so you add Ayrshare's bot to your channel or group as an admin, then send it a one-time code.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Telegram is available on plans that include social publishing, such as **Essential** and **Growth**. You need to be an **admin** of the channel or group.

## Link Telegram

### Step 1: Copy your link code

1. Go to **Social Media → Posts** and click **Manage accounts**.
2. Click **Link** on **Telegram**. A new window opens with a code that starts with **Code:**.
3. Copy the whole code, including `Code:`.

### Step 2: Add the bot as an admin

In the Telegram app, open your channel or group and tap its name to open **Info**.

* **Channel:** open **Administrators → Add Admin**.
* **Group:** tap **Edit → Administrators → Add Admin**. If asked, add the bot as a member first.

Search for **@AyrshareBot** (display name "Ayrshare") and select it.

> [!WARNING]
>
> Pick **@AyrshareBot** exactly. Look-alike bots such as @ayrshare\_bot are not ours. The bot must be an **administrator**: if it's only a member it never sees your code and linking fails without an error.

### Step 3: Give it permissions

Turn on all permissions **except the last two**, so the bot can post and delete posts, then tap **Done**.

### Step 4: Send the code

Paste the `Code:` message into the channel or group chat and send it. A success message appears in the chat, usually within a minute and at most 5 minutes. Your channel or group now appears on the Manage accounts page.
