Download Kaltura (Zoom Cloud) Videos

Some instutions and entriprises ristrict zoom recording to cloud recording and upload them to the Kaltura hosting solution Kaltura does not let you download the video to your disk :( this makes it annoying to downlooad the video to your computer so you can do whatever you want to it.

The following simple guide lets you download videos from Kaltura to your disk

How does it work

The video is in a m3mu format which is basically a text file with a bunch mp4 urls to clips of the video, the following code extracts the URLs and merges them into one MP4 file

browserInject.js

//inject this code on your Kaltura portal to get the video URL by running pasting this in the JS console

const videoURL = document.querySelector('.videoDisplay video').src
console.log('videoURL', videoURL)

copy(videoURL) //copy to clipboard

server.js

//npm i m3u8-to-mp4 to install module
const KALTURA_VIDEO_URL = "VIDEO URL FROM FIRST STEP HERE"

const m3u8ToMp4 = require("m3u8-to-mp4");
const converter = new m3u8ToMp4();

(async function() {
  await converter
    .setInputFile(KALTURA_VIDEO_URL)
    .setOutputFile("FILENAME.mp4")
    .start();

  console.log("File converted and saved");
})();
