Download any video from Microsoft Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive

Videos like

- https://{ORGID}.sharepoint.com/personal/{USERID}/_layouts/15/stream.aspx?id={VIDEOID}%2Emp4&ga=1
- https://{ORGID}.sharepoint.com/:v:/p/{USERID}/{VIDEOID}

1. Run video from SharePoint corporate account or OneDrive,
2. In Chrome open Web inspector and in Network filter by videomanifest
3. Copy this url
4. Run ffmpeg -i "%URL%" -codec copy outputvideo.mp4

2. videomanifest

But didn't find any URL to copy. The "videomanifest" is just an empty search.

I created an extension (with ChatGPT) that generates an FFmpeg command for downloading videos from SharePoint. It also allows you to download the transcription file. You can try it out here: https://github.com/MexxDirkx/SharePoint-Video-Downloader-Extension.

How to use can you please guide in detail.

It is a Google Chrome extension. The current master commit is working fine for me. You can download and unzip the extension by https://github.com/MexxDirkx/SharePoint-Video-Downloader-Extension/archive/refs/heads/main.zip. Once unzipped go to chrome://extensions/ using Google Chrome and enable Developer mode on the top right corner, click Load unpacked, go to the unzipped folder and click select. You should see the extension enabled.

Go to the Sharepoint video page you would like to download and click the extension icon then Detect video and copy the generated FFMPEG command to download the video.

this still works for me, some notes:

• copy the url fully decoded/raw (no escapes)
• copy the url up to the query param &format=dash
• from that url, remove the query param cTag (the one that has quotes in its value)
• i'm on windows terminal, so i put quotes around the url; idk if i needed to remove the cTag also because of this, i tried escaping those quotes with "" but it failed anyway, so i tried to just remove cTag and it worked

Is there any way to download other files like pdf, word?

For anyone using ffmepg by default ffmpeg automatically picks the first or lowest index, stream. SharePoint has the lowest quality streams being the first index and the highest quality streams are the higher indexes.

If you'd like higher quality streams use ffprobe then ffmpeg.

ffprobe -i "VIDEO_MANIFEST_URL" -show_streams

Identify the best video and audio stream indexes

then ffmpeg -i "VIDEO_MANIFEST_URL_HERE" -map 0:3 -map 0:7 -c copy output.mp4 (Replace 3 and 7 with your desired video and audio stream indexes)

Great answer! I hope it reduces the downloaded file, since my specific situation has 3 video and 4 audio streams. Testing it right now. Thanks!

update:
Despite the error at the end, I can watch the video.

until dash work for me

@Adamus2396 @guangxuanliu @IronWill2024 @vitkolar This solution works for me for sharepoint videos, it uses yt-dlp downloader
yt-dlp "URL until dash" -o "video.mp4"

Thank u. it work!

Error: Error when loading first fragment of playlist

Is there a method to speed up the download

I created a desktop application in C# WPF for easy downloading.
