Have the same problem here . And when it does allow you to download a video it produces a watermark
https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/9441
TL;DR
Settings - General - Update yt-dlp - switch to "Nightly" build and update it

TL;DR
Settings - General - Update yt-dlp - switch to "Nightly" build and update it
Already tried, I tried everything you can think of, I reinstalled the app and still the same problem.
Please track this issue in the upstream repo:

@JunkFood02 You may wish to make yt-dlp-nightly the default for seal. It is our recommended build for most users now.

Will do. Thank you for your(and the yt-dlp team's) hard work!
Hey I'm still experiencing this issue, is this fixed on stable, preview or not resolved?
@VyrekXD Update yt-dlp to nightly builds
I'm on the nightly build, and I'm still getting this issue. And I actually like having the watermark saved (not the little jingle at the end). Most creators don't have a watermark in their videos, so leaving that in and being able to go back and find the original creator is really helpful
Watermark didn't remove after download please resolve this issue on priority
Upstream:
- https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/9506
TL;DL
TikTok has made new restrictions on downloading videos, making it difficult for the maintainers of yt-dlp (and us) to fix this problem. But we're definitely working on it.
Please wait patiently until the issue is resolved, and do not submit duplicate bug reports, which will be considered as spamming
