How to download this Vimeo video?

https://player.vimeo.com/video/685477792?dnt=1&app_id=122963

The video is embedded on this page: https://jimbrachercolour.com/portfolio/aurora-a-touch-of-the-devine There is no share button, nothing to get the original URL. https://vimeo.com/685477792 doesn't work. Apparently there is a playlist.json file but yt-dlp can't download the video based on it. What kind of tricks are Vimeo using?

What kind of tricks are Vimeo using?

Probably tricks to stop random people downloading Private videos. How would you like it if someone had access to your private videos?

thanks a lot !

FYI for me this command is not working, even with the last version of yt-dlp, so strange.

Probably some geo silly restriction of theirs. If you can't even play it, try a VPN. Most likely american IP.
