Telegram Embed Widget
The Telegram Embed widget loads the Telegram web app inside a terminal panel, so you can read and respond to channels and chats without leaving CubeTerminal.
This is different from the Telegram Bot, which pushes alerts and trade confirmations from the terminal to your Telegram account. The embed is the full Telegram web UI; the bot is a one-way notification channel.
Features
- Embedded Telegram Web — full
web.telegram.orginterface inside a terminal widget - Persistent session — login persists across restarts (isolated partition for this widget)
- Hover toolbar — Back, Forward, Reload buttons appear at the top on hover
- External link handling — links to other sites open in your default browser rather than hijacking the embed
Requirements
⚠️
This widget requires the CubeTerminal desktop app. Browser security policies prevent Telegram from loading in a standard iframe, so the web build shows a "Desktop App Required" fallback with a link to the docs.
If you see the fallback screen, download the desktop build and log in there.
What You Can Do
- Read messages and scroll channel history
- Send and receive DMs
- Join and follow channels
- Copy and paste between Telegram and other terminal widgets
- Navigate channels and chats with the built-in Telegram UI
What You Can't Do
- No deep linking from other widgets — the news feed and trade widgets can't jump to a specific Telegram DM or channel
- No cross-widget alerts — Telegram messages don't trigger notifications inside CubeTerminal. For that, use the Telegram Bot integration
- No sharing of login state — the embed's session is isolated from any other Telegram login you have (browser, desktop app)
First Login
- Add the widget to your layout
- The embed loads
web.telegram.org/a/ - Enter your phone number, confirm with the code Telegram sends, and you're in
- Your session persists — next time you open the widget you land straight in your chats
