How to Add Music & Playlists to Your Telegram Profile: Audio Player Integration, Profile Soundtracks & Track Ordering
Audio playing in any chat can be added to your profile from the player bar. One track sits there as a single song; add more and they become a playlist a visitor can work through without leaving the page.
It is a small thing with an unusually large effect, because a profile has very few places where you get to say anything at all.
What you will be able to do
- check_circle Add a track to your profile from the player.
- check_circle Tell a portfolio apart from a statement.
- check_circle Avoid publishing something that was private.
- check_circle Judge how many tracks is too many.
It is added from the player while the track is playing, not from the profile editor.
music_note The file comes from a chat, which is the thing to notice
Whatever you add was sent to you or by you somewhere in the app, and adding it moves that file onto a surface strangers can open. Most of the time it is a song and nothing else happens. Occasionally it is a rough recording a friend sent, an unreleased mix, a voice memo of somebody, or a file with somebody else's name in its tags — and none of those were meant to be published.
The file's own title is what shows on the profile, not anything you type. A track saved as an export from an editing session will announce itself as one, which is a small embarrassment and an easy one to avoid by checking before adding rather than after.
It is also worth assuming nobody hears it. Profiles get opened on a train, in an office, with the phone on silent, and the visitor who taps play is the exception. Whatever the track is supposed to say, the title and the cover are what most people will actually receive.
Your own work, or somebody else's song
The feature is identical. What the right number of tracks is, is not.

One says here is what I like. Only the other one is worth a playlist.
podcasts The case nobody thinks of
Channels have profiles too, and for anything audio-shaped this is the most practical version of the feature. A podcast, a radio show, a label, a person who makes soundtracks: the profile becomes a place where the work is, rather than a description of where the work is.
That solves a real problem for a channel, which is that its feed is in reverse order and a new visitor meets the most recent post rather than the representative one. A pinned track is a curated answer to what this channel sounds like, and there is no other surface on a channel profile that can answer it.
The same maintenance rule applies as anywhere else. Whatever is at the top is a claim about the present, and a profile leading with something from two years ago says the project is over even when it is not.
settings Adding one

- Check what the file is called That title is what visitors read.
- Make sure it was meant to be public Rough mixes and recordings of people were not.
- Keep it to one, unless it is your work Then a playlist makes sense.
- Put the best one first Not the newest.
- Look at your own profile afterwards As a visitor sees it.
This page adds sound to a profile. The curriculum step covers the moving parts of the same page: what a video avatar does, which frame people actually see, and what stays visible after you change it.
