An .m3u8 file is a playlist, not a video, so it cannot be opened or shared on its own.

FAQ
M3U8 to MP4 questions
What is an M3U8 file?
It is the playlist behind an HLS stream. Instead of holding the video, it lists the short segments a player fetches in order.
Is the video re-encoded?
No. The segments are joined and moved into an MP4 container untouched, so the quality does not change.
Does the video pass through your server?
Only when the video's host blocks direct browser downloads. Otherwise your browser fetches the segments itself, and the joining always happens on your device.
Why does it say the stream is protected?
The stream is encrypted with DRM, as subscription services use. Those cannot be saved, so the tool stops rather than producing a broken file.
How long a video can it convert?
Up to about 500 MB of video, the most a browser can safely join in memory. Pick a lower quality for longer videos.
