Download View only Videos from Sharepoint MS Stream

So we have this NYGC Salesforce weekly sessions/trainings that are recorded, but it's published on a site that doesn't offer download option and I do not want to rely on the online streaming platform to reference these videos. So I have to download.

Solution:

Open Firefox (or the browser of your choice) and load the SharePoint page with the video that you want to download, then open the page inspector (Ctrl + Shift + C). Click on the Network tab. Type videomanifest where it says "Filter URLs". Press F5 to refresh the page. When the page reloads, copy the file URL. Use ffmpeg to download the video by pasting the URL from above:

ffmpeg -i "https://copied_videomanifest_url" -codec copy video.mp4

I have since saved these videos to my Photo/Video drive, under 2024-NYGC.
