It's unlikely that there's some identifying information, but you can use ffmpeg (using the "copy" codec to avoid a re-encode) to strip metadata. It's also theoretically possible for the video to have used some stenography techniques, but that would be much harder and expensive for the video creator/publisher so I doubt that happened.
It's not unlikely. Watermarking is real. And they don't make it easy to strip off.

Would this require specific stripping flags or is a simple
enough?
Use
-map_metadata -1to strip all metadata.The :v and :a is not needed.
ffmpeg -i video.mkv -c copy output.mkv
This will automatically copy the audio and the video without a reencode.
