Can a Telegram bot subscribe to a channel? - api

I'd like to know if a bot can subscribe to a channel, I don't seem to be able to do it.
Thanks

Actually a bot can can receive all the messages from a channel — it should be just a member of the channel. See What messages will my bot get? in the FAQ. But only a channel admin can "subscribe" a bot to the channel in such a way.
Another way is to use some programmable Telegram client application or library (thanks to the open MTProto protocol). For example, see Telethon library (Python3).

Bot or script to take over a Hangout conversation

Is it possible to implement a bot or program to take over a communication on my behalf is such way that my friend not notice it's not me who is responding?
Can I do this with Hangouts Bot or I need to implement an application with Hangouts API?
Neither is possible. The Hangouts Chat API/Bots can only respond to messages addressed directly to the bot service account. It is not possible to intercept messages sent to other users.
Potentially, you could instead write a browser plugin to act on your behalf in a open chat windows.

What is the difference between notifications of Firebase and FCM?

I am using Firebase, but I don't know what is different between notifications in Firebase and FCM.
I think notifications of Firebase can only send messages, whereas FCM can send and get messages.
Is it right?
Firebase Notifications is built on Firebase Cloud Messaging and shares the same FCM SDK for client development. For testing or for sending marketing or engagement messages with powerful built-in targeting and analytics, you can use Notifications.
