# telega.el and the Emacs community on Telegram
Gabriele Bozzola and Evgeny Zajcev

[[!inline pages="internal(2021/info/telega-schedule)" raw="yes"]]

Telegram is a cross-platform instant messaging system. The large number of
features and the widespread adoption make it a good choice for both private
conversations with friends and for large online communities. In this talk, I
am going to present the Emacs community on Telegram and its initiatives. I
am also going to discuss telega.el, the Emacs client for Telegram. telega.el
is a high-quality package that perfectly integrates in Emacs. It supports
the vast majority of the features supported by the official clients, while
adding several unique ones. In the talk, I will present the package and
highlight some of the most important features.

# Discussion

- Does telega still require company for completion?
- Telegram has become a real (and desired) option to WhatsApp, thanks to telega.el
