## What it is
A Node.js/TypeScript command-line tool that saves Microsoft Stream videos to disk for offline viewing by capturing the HLS stream through ffmpeg, with support for access-token refresh and closed captions. The project is explicitly abandoned and is unlikely to work against current Microsoft Stream tenants.

## Use cases
- download microsoft stream videos
- save stream videos for offline viewing
- download lecture recordings from microsoft stream
- save teams meeting recordings locally
- bulk download videos from ms stream
- capture hls video stream to file

## When to choose
- You need to archive Microsoft Stream videos from a tenant where it still works
- You want a scriptable CLI downloader with ffmpeg-based saving and closed-caption support
- You need a cross-platform (Windows/macOS/Linux) Node.js tool for offline video capture
- You want to fork or study the codebase, or use one of the university-specific forks

## When to avoid
- The project is officially abandoned and will probably fail against current Microsoft Stream tenants
- You need something actively maintained - consider the suggested alternative Sharedown for SharePoint-backed video downloads
- Downloading may conflict with your organization's Office 365 policies or Microsoft's terms of service
