Hello, my school hosts lectures on SharePoint, however, these lectures are view only and the stream data is drm locked. Are there any tools to download drm locked content or SharePoint videos? yt-dlp says it's drm locked, and ffmpeg says it's malformed. I tried looking through the megathread but mostly found things to find content, not download it.

yt-dlp crew explicitly state they won't touch DRM for good reasons, and that's fair. Companies using it for malicious reasons like paywalling/gatekeeping education are assholes.

I found two places with guides on how to use yt-dlp or ffmpeg:
Stack Overflow
Reddit

Failing that, OBS (you might be able to stream the file through VLC first, idk) is your friend

I tried these methods already. It was this stream link that yt-dlp said was drm locked and ffmpeg aaid was malformed. I'll try the obs method later. Thank you :3

Edit: looking closer I didn't shorten the url. I might try this later.
