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

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.

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!

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