Answer 1

The algorithm is as follows:
1. In the Telegram object of the update that arrives as a message to the bot, check the presence of the `video` property for `message`
2. If it exists, we take `file_id` from it
3. Call the Telegram API `getFile` method, passing it ` file_id` from `video`
4. The method returns a file object that has a `file_path` property
5. Download the video from the link ` https://api.telegram.org/file/bot{token}/{file_path }`, where `{token}` is the bot token and `{file_path}` is the `file_path` from the file object obtained in step 4.
