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.

I'm wondering if the issue is SharePoint, not any DRM. yt-dlp and ffmpeg wouldn't be logged in, causing the problem. Try this:

Login into sharepoint in your browser
Get cookies for the page using a plugin, there are a variety of them out there and depends on your browser, but should be easy to find
Using the file you download, run yt-dlp like this:

yt-dlp --cookies=cookies.txt <url> -S proto:dash
