But having a nice tool on any (windows) computer where you can just press WIN + Shift + S (or PrtSc?) and record a image/video/gif to paste it straight into another app like a chat is very convenient.
But as long as software treats all video formats like a video with the ability to pause and has a seek bar instead of just being an image then there is still a use case for formats like gif. If everything supported apng that would be great, but almost nothing does. Also for some reason every image I save from the net that claims to be an animated webp gets saved as a gif. I'm not sure why that is, but it doesn't seem like it needs to be that way.

It is very funny that this article about a new way to do screen recordings documents how to use the feature without using a screen recording.

Is a phenomenal, Open Source (GPL3) screenshot utility for windows that absolutely kicks ass. Slices, dices, reads qrcodes, uploads to custom s3 locations, captures video, the list of it's features is long.
I don't even know which format they use at the moment when copying to the clipboard, but when saving as a file it's saved as an mp4 file using aac for audio and h.264 for video.
Sadly, the screenshots were all lossy jpegs, and it wrapped the whole thing into an mhtml file.

I like that the snipping tool is build into windows. Took a while, but I use it weekly.

That assumes DWM doesn't own the whole Win key now and that you can run signed but not specifically approved binaries. But like I said, it's been a long time since I was acquainted with Windows and I don't think I've lacked for at least local admin on a work machine since some time in the very early 2000s, so my advice is likely not worth much.
