It’s only recording screens within the app. This sounds like an analytics tools. Any webpage can do this, common usage is click tracking.

Yup. Worked briefly for a company that would “snapshot” the browser view quite often, enough where if an issue arose we could somewhat replay the user’s interactions to try and repro the issue.

Pretty much any error tracking analytic software worth it’s salt does that these days!

Did I say that it did?
No?
Then why the rhetorical question for something that I never stated?

Definitely not OK. But it exists and I don’t think people realize it goes beyond tracking clicks to taking actual screenshots that can be stitched together practically as a video. It sucks.
