The simplest way

ffmpeg -re -i <your_input> -c:v libx264 -c:a aac -f flv <stream_url>/<stream_key>
  • -re reads the input at native frame rate, doing this is recommended by FFmpeg.
  • -c:v libx264 encodes the video of the output in libx264, the required video encoding by Telegram.
  • -c:a aac encodes the audio of the output in aac, the required audio encoding by Telegram.
  • -f flv sets the format of the output to flv, the required format by Telegram.

What if we don’t want to go offline?

Just add -loop to the input options!

ffmpeg -re -loop -i <your_input> -c:v libx264 -c:a aac -f flv <stream_url>/<stream_key>

You can use also -c:v h264_nvenc encoding for video (if you have nvidia gpu). Telegram allows h.264 codec for streams.
