This is not really an issue, I know, but I can't figure out where I can ask this.

Youtube allows streamers that stream together to have multiple POVs in one stream. Example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeby6HA076k

For those that don't know: At the bottom right of the player there is an icon that looks like a suitcase with right and left arrow. If you click that you can choose another POV.

Thing is, the URL does not change when you change the POV. Is there any way to get the other POV and download that?

Great project, keep up the good work.

Do you even try what you request before you post?

If I knew how to do it I would not be asking.

EDIT:
I spent a good 30 minutes working through the documentation (Including the FAQ) to see if youtube-dl can target the other pov BEFORE I came here to ask. With youtube-dl being such a great tool, it was natural for me to look if youtube-dl can solve the issue I had. I just now by chance right clicked on the video and saw the Copy Url option... I've always just copied the URL from the address bar or I would right click the link and copy the link. I never right click the video it self... I've never needed to...

@dst: You could have spent the time telling me about the right click options, but instead you used the time and energy to post a snide remark.

For anyone else who might want to know and is not tech savvy... select the other POV in the player, Right Click on the video playing, and choose Copy Video URL. The URL of the selected POV will now be in your clipboard and can be pasted where you need it.
