What is WEBM

WEBM is a multimedia container format designed by Google for HTML5 video. It typically holds VP8, VP9, or AV1 video streams along with Vorbis or Opus audio. The format delivers efficient compression and high quality, making it a standard choice for web-based video platforms, screen recordings, and browser-native media.

Where WEBM files come from

WEBM files are commonly generated by screen recorders, video editors, web conferencing tools, and download utilities that capture YouTube or other streaming content. Many browser extensions and recording apps default to WEBM because of its native support in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. If a file is shared from a web source or recorded in a browser, WEBM is often the default format.

Extracting and transcribing WEBM audio saves time and makes video libraries actionable.
