I see that there is a yt-dlp integration, but:

first it's not clear from the interface (only by searching the doc)
and it's not clear how to use it? (for now when I go on a Youtube (or another supported site) link and bookmark in Hoarder, I'm not asked to "archive with yt-dlp" or whatever
perhaps there should be a specific "max asset size" for video content (since it will be much higher than "normal bookmark content")
when it tries to "hoard" a Youtube page, it seems the youtube website has some anti-bot protection, so I only see "please login" or "accept cookie" page, no content

Perhaps there should be a way to connect to the Puppeteer instance remotely so we can login to a few websites with our credentials?

You enable it with CRAWLER_VIDEO_DOWNLOAD=true in the env file. If the yt-dlp finds a video there, it'll download it. You can configure max video size with CRAWLER_VIDEO_DOWNLOAD_MAX_SIZE.
