2. Replace the "URL" in the prepared command with the m3u8?token URL

command

yt-dlp --referer "https://skool.com" "URL" -o "output.mp4"

It should become something like this:

yt-dlp --referer "https://skool.com" "https://stream.video.skool.com/MXf2v021K3zabLTz3wxh2dvAnRgv1lMD01LK1cqr2aG2E.m3u8?token=eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJhdWQiOiJ2IiwiZXhwIjoxNzU4NTYyOTk2LCJraWQiOiJPVjIwMHZ6SWZuZFVCNHdXdTAxbDRjb0hrYTVQQUd3TlYwMEtZSkJrQkppVlFrIiwicGxheWJhY2tfcmVzdHJpY3Rpb25faWQiOiIzMDJ2dXNuVG1lbW1QSzllOUpMaWxaUmpnVkJ3T2hTNlVLdGkyWnhJS2V1WSIsInN1YiI6Ik1YZjJ2MDIxSzN6YWJMVHozd3hoMmR2QW5SZ3YxbE1EMDFMSzFjcXIyYUcyRSJ9.1R6_xDCcKYUyUWUISfiyjKnd0Xm8laMDRKSpCd0lkziGnm95CLqPZlW4Bsj5T3xB9v2NgFQ-Ql0N0HewS685-l6r3WV8g5ddbEWQDWpmyHVDNq_Vc1PD9w-e9CIkXruzCp6-kREQtrrGgCmx2p_V5aLOjCLeVNOgRwOFuFHZxXAXlLJt-4vXqEgfRyzDVRrze5sskn1Xm5GeUQPtNWWnDWRx6k3FGQdz8BRIhucJ771TLBpTTnNgPPRINzmZeBCuVY1ZAJt84EDLKX2XCuo8MUu4vRz6P_6tLeWoljy2JlEaUD-8UbOQRYIlUVj2lYrP4iZTon7x70HvLm0SqmT8OA&CMCD=cid%3D%22MXf2v021K3zabLTz3wxh2dvAnRgv1lMD01LK1cqr2aG2E%22%2Csid%3D%2262f1bce3-68bd-46ae-a45d-2f746c6cb24b%22" -o "output.mp4"

Bonus! If you want to download larger streams faster...

You can add --concurrent-fragments NUM to the end of the command (where "NUM" should be replaced by a number, like 5,10,15,etc.

yt-dlp --referer "https://skool.com" "URL" -o "output.mp4" --concurrent-fragments 10
