turn into bookmarklet/userscript plz

post the following script into chrome console:
`(function() {
// Find the video element
var video = document.querySelector('video');
if (!video) {
alert('No video element found on this page.');
return;
}

// Get the video source URL
var videoSrc = video.src || (video.querySelector('source') && video.querySelector('source').src);
if (!videoSrc) {
alert('No video source URL found.');
return;
}

// Create a download link
var downloadLink = document.createElement('a');
downloadLink.href = videoSrc;
downloadLink.download = 'zoom-recording.mp4'; // Suggests a filename
downloadLink.innerText = 'Download Zoom Recording';
downloadLink.style.position = 'fixed';
downloadLink.style.top = '10px';
downloadLink.style.left = '10px';
downloadLink.style.zIndex = '9999';
downloadLink.style.padding = '10px';
downloadLink.style.background = 'white';
downloadLink.style.border = '1px solid black';
downloadLink.style.textDecoration = 'none';

// Insert the link into the body
document.body.appendChild(downloadLink);

// Remove context menu listener to enable right-click
var listeners = getEventListeners(document).contextmenu;
if (listeners && listeners.length > 0) {
document.removeEventListener('contextmenu', listeners[0].listener);
}

alert('Download link added. Click it or right-click and select "Save link as..." to download.');
