Issues with Telegram video messages (circles) on Pixel 10 – severe lag and freezing?

I’m experiencing some really annoying issues with Telegram video messages ('circles') on my new Pixel 10, and I’m wondering if anyone else is dealing with this.

Whenever I try to record a video message, the camera view in the app feels stuttery and laggy. But the bigger problem happens after I send it. When I re-watch the sent video, the quality is significantly downgraded (pixelated); The video constantly freezes during playback; The last few seconds of the video simply refuse to play—it just hangs on the final frame before the video finishes.

It’s making this feature practically unusable for me. Is this a known bug with the Pixel 10 camera integration in Telegram, or is it an app-side issue? Any tips or potential fixes would be appreciated
