For those aiming to download videos from MS Teams meetings in which you participated but were not the Organizer, I managed to do so using yt-dlp and ffmpeg. The procedure is quite similar for both tools.

• Open your Browser (I got it to work in Chrome, Edge and Firefox)
• Login to portal.office.com
• Go to where you can play the video you want to download, either via Sharepoint or Streams.
• Hit F12
• Go to the "Network" tab
• Filter: videomanifest
• Hit F5
• Start playing the video
