# editMessageMedia

## Description

Use this method to edit animation, audio, document, photo, or video messages. If a message is a part of a message album, then it can be edited only to a photo or a video. Otherwise, message type can be changed arbitrarily. When inline message is edited, new file can't be uploaded. Use previously uploaded file via its file_id or specify a URL. On success, if the edited message was sent by the bot, the edited Message is returned, otherwise True is returned.
