Peculiarities
How does the Yandex Video service generally work? The principle of operation of the service is similar to the image search system in Yandex - you enter the name of the video you want to find (or description keywords) in the search bar.
And the service analyzes Internet resources using standard tools of the Yandex search engine.
The search results include content posted on a variety of sites (mostly Youtube due to its wide audience coverage).
That is, Yandex itself does not provide services for posting videos, and all search results are located on different sites.
Accordingly, the conditions for downloading a particular video differ depending on where it is uploaded.
For this reason, after finding the desired video, it is better to click on the link below it and go to the source - it is quite possible that the source site provides the ability to download.
If this is not available, then you can move on to special measures that allow you to download any video from the network.
