We could all use an “Animated This is Fine ZOOM Background” video in times like these.

It’s not obvious how to download a video from YouTube.

I tend to shy away from this outside of this background video explicitly created to be downloaded, so I came up with this one-liner using UV and yt-dlp, which will pull the video.

$ uv run yt-dlp --format=mp4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEg-9RvcnlY

Hat tip to Maryanne Wachter for finding and recommending this background.
