Try How do I pass cookie to yt-dlp.
As install YT-dlp on your command line, (including ffmpeg). Log in to your site, and use this section to pass the cookie to your YT-dlp command with your video link.
- I don't think yt-dlp can crack DRM... most sites don't bother using it.

I always try yt-dlp first with the website URL. If that doesn't work I either try the URL shown in the network tab in the debug menu or try to find a video source URL by inspecting the video html container.
Once I've found a URL using one of those methods I again throw it at yt-dlp

Can you watch the video on the page? If so I would use OBS Studio to screen record it. If not, no idea, good luck!
- Searching "github download webpage video" gives this and more results to try.
- Does that work? I suspect the DRM content would not show.
  Some streaming is not possible even when you can view it on the monitor.
  I suspect that happens on the video driver or Windows rendering subsystem - where OBS would capture. I had issues like that trying to stream to my TV IIRC.
  A quick search on OBS gives me - supporting my suspicion - https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/unable-to-record-hulu-and-other-drm-digital-rights-media-protected-content.130979/
  
  Ahhh makes sense, I couldn't tell what the OP was trying to record but OBS might not work for it after all
- I think OBS will not work for this DRM stuff, you need a video capture card and directly record the video signal.

Dumb question, but does the page source show where the video is contained?
- hmm, I tried view page source, on the opened page I found only one occurrence of word "video": <meta property="og:url" content="/video/751778"/>

I use this https://www.downloadhelper.net/. Not to download but to get the video URL and download using other tools.
- it gives and error because it wants to download using their desktop addon, but via the dots you can select to copy the URL. In the Addon settings you can change copy URL to the default. the URL you get will work with yt-dlp

Video DownloadHelper?

Most of the time you can check your network tab in the dev console. If it's not there, throw the url at jdownloader.

What was the error you got when you ran yt-dlp?
- [generic] Extracting URL: https://www.aljazeera360.com/video/742807 [generic] 742807: Downloading webpage WARNING: [generic] Falling back on generic information extractor [generic] 742807: Extracting information ERROR: Unsupported URL: https://www.aljazeera360.com/video/742807

If the page uses the built-in player, right click and save as should work. If right click is disabled, get an extension to force enable it.
- you can shift+right click on a page to force it, no extension needed
- option isn't there
  
  Can you give us the URL?

@zaknenou try cobalt.tools
- @zaknenou damn... I'm sorry!

Try using Jdownloader2
