Is there a way to share private DailyMotion videos?

I know basically nothing about coding but need a way to share private videos without making them public (the videos are shared with my research team only for the purposes of our project). I need to embed videos into my survey and I've come across a few different threads discussing this in heavy coding language (for me) that I can't wrap my head around.

I understand that I need to request the private id in order to embed the link (and yes, I understand that this inevitably lessens the private state of the video, but I've accepted that I can only control for so much) into the study, but I have no clue how to do this. The DailyMotion API pages are no easier for me to digest, and I would be very grateful if someone can explain in layman's terms how to walk these steps?

You can get the share link or the embed code of your video by using the share button on our platform as explained here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/53745149/3668925

Using the API you can get those information by asking for the fields embed_html and url

Example: https://api.dailymotion.com/video/k123example?fields=id,private_id,title,embed_html,url

Response:

{
  "title": "video example",
  "embed_html": "<iframe frameborder=\"0\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" src=\"https://www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/k123example\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay\"></iframe>",
  "url": "https://www.dailymotion.com/video/k123example"
}
