Sometimes it’s difficult to get a video owner’s permission to access a video in Microsoft Stream. To download the video to a computer, use a pre-built copy of “Sharedown” (or build Sharedown from scratch following its readme) and follow these instructions:

1. Log into stream.microsoft.com and find your organization’s video that you want to download.
2. On the righthand side of your browser window, click the red button titled “Share”, then tap “Copy link”, and tap “Copy”.
3. Launch “sharedown” and paste the link you copied from Step 2 – view this to see screenshots of this step.
4. The saved video should now be located in the output folder you selected – review “sharedown” wiki if you get stuck using it.

I used Sharedown 5.3.6 running on macOS 14.7.2 and it worked well.
