If I absolutely had to watch a tiktok video, I would try giving the link to yt-dlp. That can probably download it.
i tried and it didn't work - but maybe it's because it was the "vm.tiktok..." shortened link that tracks the user that shared it (when i open that link i can see a banner with a photo of my friend and "join tiktok with [friend name]"
next time i should try to open the link, get the real url, then use that
Ah! I would have guessed it could handle that too, with the platform being so popular.
