I’m developing a Telegram mini app and facing a challenge. I need the app to let users return to the bot, send a video, and then reopen the mini app without reloading it. I tried using openTelegramLink, but it doesn’t work with the bot that opened the mini app. Does anyone know how to achieve this or have any alternative solutions?

If you want the user to talk with the same bot instead of opening the link, you should may be just close() the Mini App.
Later, to re-open to the correct stage you may want to use a deep link parameter. I think the initData or initDataUnsafe.start_param inside the window.Telegram.WebApp object can help you on this.
I personally haven’t built a Mini App, but from the documentation I can see you can use deep links such as the following to do the same:

Make sure to check the official documentation for more details: https://core.telegram.org/bots/webapps#initializing-mini-apps
Hope this helps 🙂
