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

I fixed error 401 in this branch: https://github.com/majid3612/SharePointVideoDownloader/tree/feature/already-installed-browser-support
dotnet run -- --browser-path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" -v -u "https://your-tenant-my.sharepoint.com/.../stream.aspx?id=..." --capture -o "meeting.mp4" --ffmpeg-path "PATH-TO-YOUR-ffmpeg.exe"

Capture: no video element appeared within 30 s.

Elaborate more on the issue. Logs, screenshots, etc. of what you get...

nvm I used the same url with yt-dlp and it works. Don't know what the issue with ffmpeg

can you share me the steps how to download with yt-dlp

sorry for the late reply, First I used homebrew on my Mac to download yt-dlp here

then I used this command

yt-dlp "<YOUR_VIDEO_URL>" -o "C:\Your\Destination\Path\Video.mp4"

to get the video link, follow the steps from @poptropica12 above

any update?

Workaround (What is currently work for me)
Navigate to the directory of the video
Open "Developer Tools" and navigate to the "Network" tab
Use the Preview feature to preview the desired video
Filter out the entry with the keyword videomanifest like before
Copy the respective URL
Examine the URL to check whether the access_token query parameter exists
Remove the rest of the query parameters starting from altManifestMetadata
Execute the FFMPEG command

@poptropica12 Could you please explain point 3 and 4 in more detail?
I'm not sure if the preview option I'm using is the one I should be using.

When you navigate to the video directory, right-click on the particular video you desire, which should open a context menu, and on the context menu, you should see a Preview option available (It is recommended to turn on "Developer Tools" right before this step).

that's working for me (yt-dlp + teams for web)

It works, but the audio quality is very bad.

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.

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.

So just to reiterate (especially to @shebenu and @MrBass): my method works still, I've just finished downloading a M$ Teams recording that was literally made just a couple days ago:

I've been using your Google extension for the past few months, ever since my ffmpeg script failed.

Everything was working fine, but now the videomanifest won't load at all. I've been getting an error for a couple of weeks, and I can't get it to load.

"Video manifest URL not captured yet. Please wait a moment and try again, or refresh the page"

However, it never loads, no matter what I do. I can try loading it a thousand times and it gives the exact same error. It used to work before, but not anymore.

I've cleared the cache, reinstalled the Chrome extension... and it's still the same.

In Chrome DevTools (Inspect), the videomanifest doesn't load at all either, like it used to.

Is there any solution? Is there anything I can do?
