If you use Window$, you can download
yt-dlp.exe
and type this in the
MS-DOS prompt:
yt-dlp https://www.youtube.com/embed/fJiqeiyPpSU
Watch at youtube (not recommended):

Youtube.com requires nonfree software (Javascript code) for normal use of the
site; after changes Google made in August 2017, nothing is visible in a typical Youtube page without running
its nonfree Javascript code.
[...]
However, it is ok to refer to the same videos on an offshoot of invidio.us; just make sure not to
choose one that is "protected" by Cloudflare, since that sends its own nonfree software. This way of
referring is probably fail-safe: it may cease to work, but it will probably not start leading people to
run nonfree software. You don't need a special "platform" to post an audio or video on the Web. You can
post an audio or video file on any web site. Just put up the WebM file and link to it as if it were an
ordinary page. All graphical browsers can handle that.
I suggest that you don't watch the video with the browser, but download it with
yt-dlp
instead and play it from your hard drive,
with a specialised program, particularly if you want to watch it more than once, because:
- Hard drives have direct memory access,
but your internet connection doesn't. This means that when you watch a video from the internet in your browser, the CPU
has to handle the data transfer, as well as encryption and decryption, leading to lower performance and increased
electricity consumption, especially since all sites with videos on them use
HTTPS.
- Whenever you watch a video online, the server on which it's stored, as well as all the other servers and
routers involved in transferring the file to you need extra energy to perform this task.
- If you have a metered internet connection, you will obviously save a lot of bandwidth if you watch the video
from the hard drive.
- Browsers are not optimised for playing videos, so you will get much better performance and energy efficiency if
you use a specialised program.
So if you are concerned with global heating, pollution and exhaustion of Earth's resources, you should
download all the videos you want to watch.

Mikhail Smirnov - Mechta (Dream)
Это небо стелется, и я
Забираюсь выше, где мечта,
И среди этих звёздных полей
Я наблюдаю город огней.
Она верит просто по глазам
И направит сердце к берегам.
Тем что мне снились, тем что люблю,
Эту дорогу я отыщу.
[Припев:]
Ты забери меня повыше,
Где мы исполним наш дуэт.
Скорей туда, где ветер дышит
И горизонт меняет цвет.
На, руки к солнцу, ты и я,
На, руки к свету, навсегда.
Забери меня под облака,
Белый город с привкусом дождя.
Ты покажи мне этот рассвет
И нарисуй мне мыслей портрет.
За спиною крылья, налегке,
Рассекаю время на воде,
Я возвращаюсь, рядом она
И замираю там у окна.
[Припев]
And you will take me to the blue skies
And we will sing about the place
Where the wind plays with the sunlight,
Touching my hair and my face,
Into the arms of light we fly,
Into the arms of boundless sky.
---
This sky extends and I
Am climbing higher, where a dream is,
And among these star fields
I watch the city of lights.
She believes just in her eyes
And directs her heart to the shores.
With what I dreamed, with what I love,
I will find this road.
[Chorus:]
You take me higher,
Where we will perform our duet.
Hurry to where the wind breathes
And the horizon changes color.
On, hands into the sun, you and me,
On, hands into the light, forever.
Take me away to the clouds,
White city with a taste of rain.
You show me this dawn
And paint me a portrait of thoughts.
Behind my back wings, lightly,
I cut through time on the water,
I'm coming back, next to her
And I freeze there at the window.
[Chorus]
etc.
