player.tech(true).el() or player.$('video') should both work, with the first one being more explicit but depending upon the use of the HTML tech (which is the default).

No, it doesn't. You may want to look into using the video element + canvas for that.

Its not possible with video.js player when trying to save an image using canvas. Error: "Failed to execute 'drawImage' on 'CanvasRenderingContext2D': The provided value is not of type '(HTMLImageElement or HTMLVideoElement or HTMLCanvasElement or ImageBitmap)".

Video is not identified as "HTMLVideoElement". This is a basic use case and glad if you can mention a workaround.
