Download view only videos from sharepoint or teams

To Download view only videos from sharepoint or teams, where only link sharing option is visible.

Using Google Chrome => Chromium / (latest) Microsoft Edge / Safari should follow approximately the same flow.

  1. Open the Sharepoint page with the video you want to download

  2. Press F12 or Ctrl + Shift + C on your keyboard to open the browser inspector. (Cmd + Option + C on Mac OS X)

  3. In the top part, click on the Network tab

  4. In the top left part - right below the Network tab - you should see a field with the word "Filter" inside it. Click it to gain focus and type: manifest

  5. Refresh the Sharepoint page

  6. After a few seconds you should now see 1 result in the browser inspector's network part. That should be something looking like:
    videomanifest?provider=spo... => that right there is the manifest URL you will need later on. Right-click on it and copy the link address.

Step 7)

The method I described in my earlier answer is a terminal command and it requires the ffmpeg tool to be installed. It will also depend on what system you are using right now, that might be Windows / Linux / Mac OS X and changes the method how to be able to execute this command.

  • On Windows: Ctrl + R, type this: cmd and press enter.

  • On Mac OS X: Cmd + space, type this: terminal and press enter.

  • On Linux (there are many flavors, but linux users probably already know where to find a terminal prompt.) Ctrl + Alt + T might work - if not... I'm afraid you chose the wrong operating system for your daily needs.

Step 8)

Once the terminal has opened, enter this command to start the download:
ffmpeg -i "https://theURLtoTheManifestYouCopiedHere" -codec copy downloadedVideo.mp4


If you receive a message displaying something like "Command not found" it means that you still have to install ffmpeg on your system. The method to install this also varies on the operating sytem you are using:

  • on Windows: this should help: https://youtu.be/r1AtmY-RMyQ

  • on Mac OS X terminal, type this: brew install ffmpeg

  • on Linux (Debian based) terminal, type this: sudo apt install ffmpeg


You can also download via VLC media player.
  1. Open VLC application
  2. Ctrl + R / Media > Convert/Save
  3. Paste url under network tab
  4. Enter desired output file name and format of video
  5. Now press play button, it will take time but your video will be saved in background.

Disable Google Chrome extensions auto update

Disabling extension update: Edit preferences json-file for Google Chrome on Windows:  C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Preferences on Ubuntu for Chromium:  ${HOME}/.config/chromium/Default/Preferences In this file find the extension preferences block and set  "update_url"  property like  "http://localhost"  for example.
