The primary goal of developing this bot is to ensure automatic notifications to members of the Telegram community about new live streams on the NYM company’s YouTube channel. This will help attract more participants to watch live streams, thereby increasing engagement and activity within the community.
Bot Functionality Description
-
YouTube Live Stream Checking: The bot regularly checks for new live streams on the specified YouTube channel. This check occurs every minute, allowing for timely detection of new streams.

Automatic Notifications: If the bot detects a new live stream, it automatically sends a message to the general Telegram chat. The message contains a link to the stream and a short description, helping users quickly join and watch.
-
Logging: The bot uses Serilog for detailed logging of all events. This makes it easy to monitor the bot’s operation and identify potential issues.
