These software may be free or require a purchase, but they provide a higher chance of recovering deleted videos.

It's worth checking the Recently Deleted folder – but if photos or videos are there, then, by definition, they're not permanently deleted.

I deleted my videos mistakenly how do I retrieve it back

If you deleted it from the Recently Deleted folder, then you would have seen the message that continuing will result in the video being permanently deleted. If you did not delete them from the Recently Deleted folder, then you can find the video there and recover it as long as it has not been longer than 30 days.
