How to download Teams / Sharepoint videos

Microsoft Teams annoys me every single day.

I would have enough topics for a full post just on that… but let’s focus on one very annoying point.

If someone has recorded a video call or shared a video via Sharepoint, you aren’t able to download it.

Or can you?

1. Open Terminal
2. brew install ffmpeg
3. Open the Video on the Browser (something like: https://xpto-my.sharepoint.com/personal/x_person/_layouts/15/stream.aspx?id=…)
4. On Chrome press F12 -> Inspector -> Network
5. Refresh page and get the link starting with videomanifest?…
6. After a few seconds you should now see 1 result in the browser inspector’s network part. Something like:
   videomanifest?provider=spo… => Copy it.
7. ffmpeg -i “https://theURLtoTheManifestYouCopiedHere" -codec copy downloadedVideo.mp4
