# Steps to extract and download a Microsoft Stream video:
# 1. Open the debug console in your browser (Ctrl + Shift + I).
#    - Go to the "Network" tab.
#    - Navigate to the video or reload the page with video (Ctrl + Shift + R).
#
# 2. In the Network tab, filter using the keyword: videomanifest
#    - You’ll usually see three entries for three requests.
#    - Right click on the URL and copy the URL from the last entry - this is the full video manifest link.
#
# 3. Use the yt-dlp command line tool with that URL to download the video in .mp4 format
#      If using this script, run: 
#        bash stream-download.sh "$url" "$file_name"
#      Otherwise, run it directly using yt-dlp:
#        yt-dlp -o "output.mp4" "$url"
#
# 4. (Optional) Rename the output.mp4 file afterward.
