Snapshot to Telegram

This examples for Home Assistant Telegram Bot integration.

• change url to your go2rtc web API (http://localhost:1984/ for most users)
• change target to your Telegram chat ID (support list)
• change src=camera1 to your stream name from go2rtc config

Important. Snapshot will be near instant for most cameras and many sources, except ffmpeg source. Because it takes a long time for ffmpeg to start streaming with video, even when you use #video=copy. Also the delay can be with cameras that do not start the stream with a keyframe.
