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

Anyone who doesn't feel like downloading a Chrome extension can use yt-dlp with the following syntax:
yt-dlp -f "dash-vcopy+dash-audcopy" --cookies-from-browser firefox "SHAREPOINT_PAGE_URL"
Provided you use Firefox of course. Also, make sure you have FFmpeg specified in the %PATH% environment variable as well, otherwise yt-dlp won't be able to merge the resulting two files (the audio and the video file). I highly recommend leaving the format specifier in as well as the downloads didn't work properly for me without them.

error 401

Anyone having issues with 401 could checkout my Chrome Extension as I recently fixed this.

Video / Audio download

• In-browser download — Video+Audio (MP4), Audio Only (M4A), or Video Only. No extra tools needed.
• Editable filename — auto-derived from the page title.
• Floating banner widget as a fallback for when the SharePoint command bar re-renders or hides the button.

Transcript download

• Automatic detection — the extension watches for the transcript metadata call and adds a Download Transcript button.
• Three formats — RAW JSON, standard WebVTT, or Grouped VTT (consecutive lines from the same speaker collapsed into a block).
• Live preview of each format in the modal.
• Last-used format remembered across sessions.
• Clear dialog if the meeting was never transcribed, instead of a silent failure.

stuck with audio

None of the command line options worked for me - 401: Unauthorized, which really is to be expected if there's no auth token in the URL.

I ended up using the excellent Chrome extension that @brendangooden has posted above. Installed it, refreshed my browser and downloaded the video first time. The transcript stuff is an added bonus.

Cheers @brendangooden! 🥃

For the manual peeps, I tried this with a Teams recording (https://xxx-my.sharepoint.com/...) :

1. Do the steps until trimming the URL up to &format=dash
2. For that videomanifest URL in the Network tab, check its Request Headers. Copy the X-SPOPacToken

4. Append &access_token=<copied_token> into your URL
5. Do the rest of the steps

Note: my video was under 100MB and download was fast, so I encountered no problems.
But while I was debugging around and reloading the page, I noticed this token would change, so it might have an expiry, which might interfere with long downloads.
