This is a video uploaded by a user in a closed group on Facebook. I am able to view the video in the closed group. I had to turn off two-factor authentication to be able to get youtube-dl into it, otherwise I would just get a pop-up on my phone (and PC) asking me if I had just logged in.
I used the "--dump-pages" option to verify what was happening, and I do indeed get the webpage of the group, with the video itself focused, so the login is working, but the download itself fails.
I am not FB-friends with the person who uploaded the video.
If work on your issue requires account credentials please provide them or explain how one can obtain them.
My Facebook-login? Uh. Not in an open forum - please provide me with a way to give it to you securely.
