stripped down version of destreamer with yt-dlp
Hopefully this doesn't break the end user agreement for Microsoft Stream. Since we're simply saving the HLS stream to disk as if we were a browser, this does not abuse the streaming endpoints. However i take no responsibility if either Microsoft or your Office 365 admins request a chat with you in a small white room.
- Node.js: recent version of Node.js
- ffmpeg: recent version (how to install)
- yt-dlp: recent version (how to install)
- git: recent version
Running inside Cygwin/MinGW/MSYS may fail, please use cmd.exe or PowerShell if you're on Windows.

what is a download session?
you create a txt file with a list of urls to download
this list is a download session, if you change the list (add/remove urls), a new session will start
if video urls input file changes, the done file will be reset and you will get duplicates
intended usage:
create your urls list file and do not touch it until all downloads in the list are complete (even if it crashes and you restart it)
once all finished, create a new urls input file (remove all existing urls)
somewhat limited feature, but more than enough for this
To build destreamer clone this repository, install dependencies and run the build script -
$ git clone https://github.com/snobu/destreamer
$ cd destreamer
$ npm install or yarn install
$ npm run build or yarn buildExample command:
$ node build/nanoDestreamer.js -f vidUrlsFile.txt -d ytdlpPassing --username is optional. It's there to make logging in faster (the username field will be populated automatically on the login form).
You can use an absolute path for -o (output directory), for example /home/name/videos.
You can create a .txt file containing your video URLs, one video per line. The text file can have any name, followed by the .txt extension.
Also accept Microsoft Teams Groups url so if your Organization placed the videos you are interested in a group you can copy the link and Destreamer will download all the videos it can inside it! A group url looks like this https://web.microsoftstream.com/group/XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX
Example
https://web.microsoftstream.com/video/xxxxxxxx-aaaa-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
-dir="videos/lessons/week1"
https://web.microsoftstream.com/video/xxxxxxxx-aaaa-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
-dir="videos/lessons/week2"
By default, downloads are saved in videos folder in the same directory where destreamer is executed, unless specified by -o (output directory).
maybe a few?
this is a quick job not intended to be supported as a destreamer fork, just personal needs
