You can play the video at high quality and then use a screen recorder software to record it. OBS is good and free.

If the owner of the video has made it private, you **cannot** do anything about it. It’s pointless to do anything at that point.

But if it is important then read this article about it → [**How To Watch Private Videos On Youtube**](https://www.nsouly.com/how-to-watch-private-videos-on-youtube/)
