Understanding WebM vs MP4
WebM is an open, royalty-free media file format designed for the web. It is sponsored by Google and is highly efficient for streaming. However, its focus on the web ecosystem means it lacks the broad desktop and mobile support that MP4 enjoys.
MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14) is the swiss-army knife of video containers. It is supported by the MPEG group and is the default format for recording on almost all cameras and phones.
