What is EchoGram?

EchoGram is a third-party Telegram video and media player for Android, Android TV, Fire TV, iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. Using the official Telegram API, it turns the chats, channels, folders and topics in your own Telegram account into an organised streaming library, with a Continue Watching home screen, a real media player, and a Discover section that pulls posters, ratings, cast and episode lists for the movies and shows you follow. Cast to your living-room TV, play large MKV files natively, switch audio and subtitle tracks, or simply save device storage by streaming instead of downloading. EchoGram is independent and is not affiliated with Telegram.
