How many boosts are needed to post stories on Telegram?
For a channel or group to post stories on Telegram, they need to collect votes (boosts) from users with a Telegram Premium subscription.
How it works
- Stories become available after reaching channel level 1.
- The level is increased through boosts from subscribers.
- Only users with Telegram Premium can give boosts.
How many votes are needed?
There is no fixed number
The number of boosts depends on the size of the channel:
- The more subscribers, the more votes are required.
- Telegram uses a dynamic formula that may change.
Approximate guidelines (not exact):
- ~100 subscribers → about 1 vote
- ~1,000 subscribers → about a few votes (approx. 3–10)
- ~10,000 subscribers → about dozens of votes (approx. 30–50)
These values are approximate and may vary — Telegram periodically updates the system.
What level 1 provides
- Ability to post stories on behalf of the channel.
- Basic limits on the number of stories (may change).
Each subsequent level:
- increases limits;
- adds additional features.
Where to see the exact number of boosts
The most reliable way:
- Open the channel.
- Click on the channel name.
- Go to the "Boosts" section.
It will indicate:
- how many boosts you already have;
- how many are needed for the next level.
Summary
- There is no fixed number (e.g., "50 boosts").
- Everything depends on the size of the channel.
- You need to check inside Telegram itself.
