Download video from Microsoft Stream

Question

I'd like to download video from Microsoft Teams, or better yet, from Microsoft Stream. I read that this function is available only for the owner.

The problem is the following: from tomorrow my university is starting streaming lectures because in Italy there is a big number of people with COVID-19 and the universities are closed. For this reason, and because my internet connection is not so good, I need to download the video lectures uploaded from the professors.

Solution 1

Have a look at this project on github. Its called destreamer and basically does what you want. Depends on your University, you can find a version customized with the specific automated login for your school and for sure one is for the Milano Politecnico which is an italian university that goes under the name PoliDown.

Destreamer works by grapping the m3u streaming and combine it back using FFMPEG.

Solution 2

Download the microsoft stream app in android/apple phones or tablets and there you can save it for offline. Unfortunately there is no app in Windows.

If you have an nVidia GPU, ShadowPlay could capture it but it needs to be recorded live.

Hi @Starkster, i tried it, but i don't find the file; i checked in file folder, video and photo folder, onedrive, but there isn't. Can you share a screenshot please?

It requires some familiarity with the Linux command line but it works.

No need to use patch cords with Audacity; howtogeek.com/217348/… And if you have a webcam, the included software may give you the ability to do video screen captures.

It (now) works in environments that use proxies and/or SSO to protect the videos. I had to fix the code to work in my environment; I submitted a patch for it. github.com/snobu/destreamer/pull/123

I just tried it. It was extremely easy to install (I had to npm install typescript --save prior to npm run build since I was getting ... Error: Cannot find module '.../destreamer/node_modules/typescript/bin/tsc' ..., other than that it worked nicely). And it was easy to use, simply ./destreamer.sh -i "<URL>".

@GennaroArguzzi you won't find it as it is encrypted. Refer to this link, section "How offline video playback works": techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-stream-blog/…

Someone packaged destreamer as an executable, do check out the video and download the zip file (64bit and 32 bit availalbe). youtube.com/watch?v=uLQLCpji7pc Disclaimer: I am not the content creater and I am not sure if this breaches the terms of service.
