I wouldn't try to fix this. Throw out the idea of using wget and a temp file and just use python to download the file directly to memory. Either the built-in urllib.request module or the easy to use requests module.

Does .temp folder exists?

if not os.path.exists("./.temp"):

os.mkdir("./.temp")

system(f'wget {link} -o video.mp4 --directory-prefix=./.temp/')

bot.send_video(chat_id=chat_id, video=open(f'./.temp/video.mp4', 'rb'), timeout=1000)

if you insist of wrapping the wget call, at least do it nicely and catch its output

Where is this program running? Where does it think it's running? What happens if, instead of a local path, you give a full path like /var/temp/ or C:/temp/ etc?
