Just add an anchor tag with the same link and a download attribute:

<a href="https://foo.bar" download>
    Download Me!
</a>

Since you have the link, you can trigger it manually.

var a = $("<a>")
    .attr("href", "LINK HERE")
    .attr("download", "vid.mp4")
    .appendTo("body");

a[0].click();

a.remove();
