Which format will I get?

MP4 in browsers that support it, such as recent Chrome and Edge; otherwise WebM.

Can WebM files be played everywhere?

Most browsers and VLC play them; convert to MP4 for older devices.

Is it the same as a screenshot?

No, a screenshot is one still image; a recording is video.

What Is a Screen Recorder? How Browser Recording Works

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): A screen recorder captures what appears on your screen as a video, optionally with the sound being played and your microphone. People use it for tutorials, bug reports, presentations, saving online classes or showing someone how to do something. This one uses the browser's built-in screen capture, so there is nothing to install: you pick a screen, window or tab, record, and download an MP4 or WebM file, depending on what your browser supports.
