I just started a fresh new notebook on Colab following the exact instructions on the homepage without any problem...

https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/installation/jupyter.html#google-colaboratory

!sudo apt update
!sudo apt install libcairo2-dev ffmpeg \
    texlive texlive-latex-extra texlive-fonts-extra \
    texlive-latex-recommended texlive-science \
    tipa libpango1.0-dev
!pip install manim
!pip install IPython==8.21.0

But somehow the video doesn't run

compare your screenshot with mine...

Currently with Manim 0.18.1 you have to add the line config.media_embed=True
