Is it possible to make it work on embedded youtube videos?

@mbd-shift could you describe your use case?

I don't really think this would work directly for now, since the code relies on objects declared inside the YouTube page's javascript context. If you're trying to download a vtt file for the current video, I'd suggest maybe using the CLI on your backend to generate the file.
