(Change /photo for /clip to get a photo+video)
At the specified time, the bot will post "/photo" in your Channel, the cameras will "read" it and post their photos to their respective chats.
This only works within Channels because, in Groups bots cannot interact between them.
(I use this to capture photos of the sunset and sunrise.)
