The videos are embedded I believe, there is no easy way to get the url (been trying for over a hour). That is also one of the issue. But I did find an alternative, which are video download bots, which you add the bots as a wechat friend and you share with them the video and then they give you a download link. So this is actually a more complicated problem since the wechat videos are within the wechat ecosystem, and the only way to view the videos are through the wechat app (mobile and desktop).

I'll look further to try to get a link.

WeChat don't even provide share links to videos. Current workarounds include packet capturing WeChat client and hosting WeChat bots. Regarding the scope of this project this feature is kinda impossible I guess.

For current packet capturing, you need to install software and also have the wechat desktop. Not sure if a web app can do that.
