How to change the default file type from webm to gif for 30s ubuntu screencasts?


Ubuntu provides an option to record a screencast of 30s by Ctrl + Shift + Alt + R.

The default file type is webm. How do I set the default to gif?

It is wastage to time to convert these files to gif using an online converter.

Instead, I would like them to be saved in gif format by default.
