As a Beta App user, we invite you to update your Telegram Beta to the latest version and join the test voice chat in @MemesTelegram.

You can also try this invite link:
https://t.me/MemesTelegram?voicechat

We’re making sure everything works fine in voice chats with massive numbers of listeners before the release. For now, the only thing we need is that you simply join the voice chat as a listener.

If there are further things that need testing, we’ll post in the channel. Thanks! ☺️

Bot API 5.1

• Added updates about member status changes in chats: my_chat_member and chat_member
• Support for improved invite links
• Basic info about voice chats
• And more, read the full changelog here:

https://core.telegram.org/bots/api-changelog#march-9-2021

Warning: After one of the upcoming Bot API updates, user identifiers will become bigger than 2^31 - 1 and it will be no longer possible to store them in a signed 32-bit integer type. User identifiers will have up to 52 significant bits, so a 64-bit integer or double-precision float type would still be safe for storing them. Please make sure that your code can correctly handle such user identifiers.
