You could try to use youtube_dl:

!pip install youtube_dl

import youtube_dl

link = '<LINK_TO_YOUTUBE_VIDEO>'

ydl_opts = {}

with youtube_dl.YoutubeDL(ydl_opts) as ydl:
    info_dict = ydl.extract_info(link, download=False)
    video_title = info_dict.get('title', None)

path = f'./{video_title}.mp4'

ydl_opts.update({'outtmpl':path})

with youtube_dl.YoutubeDL(ydl_opts) as ydl:
    ydl.download([link])
