The bot is a simple receive/reply system. When it boots it sends one message to the hard-coded owner of the bot (10 digit number in chat_id), and thereafter it responds to anyone in the telegram universe that sends a message. Obviously a little esp32 cannot respond to millions of messages, but anyone can send it a message. This line below grabs the identity of the person sending a message, and uses that identity to send a message back. You could delete this line, and it would always send messages back your hard-coded identiy. Or check if the caller is you or one of your friends, and then reply to them, or ignore them. + +https://github.com/jameszah/ESP32-CAM-Video-Telegram/blob/87c9ffa764ef58648e143ca038c49ba51b8964bf/ESP32-CAM-Video-Telegram_8.9x.ino#L302 +
