I would also not mind using LibreCloud to host the files, although that would require some more setup on the backend.

I'm thinking we should simply redirect YouTube downloads to a temporary file host, so people can download larger files outside of Telegram. I believe I have implemented this before with [catbox.moe](https://catbox.moe)/[catbox's litterbox service](https://litterbox.catbox.moe). It's not hard to implement with some simple HTTP requests.

For additional context, I was unable to download longer than a 2 minute video.. Kinda hard to find that on YouTube except for short news clips.

Nevermind on that one

You cannot use Catbox for commercial services without prior approval. Examples include as a CDN, image host for your business/ecommerce site, or a source for videos that are streamed on sites other than files.catbox.moe directly.
