Windows 32-bit?:
No. The library used for WebP writing (*cough* Google) does not support win32... Ok, an old version does and I did get it to compile, but I consider it unsupported and you should only use it if you somehow do not have a 64 bit cpu. here :(
MacOS arm?:
No. Not supported by tpt/starcatcher.
Lua API (record.* or rec.*):
All methods correspond to a setting in the GUI and can be used with no arguments to get the value
rec.record(boolean recording)
rec.pause(boolean paused)
rec.area(number x1, number y1, number x2, number y2) -- NOT inclusive
rec.fps(number fps)
rec.scale(number scale) -- Allowed values: 1, 2, 4, 8, -8 (8+spacing)
rec.includeUI(boolean enabled)
rec.format(number format) -- 0 = Gif, 1 = WebP, 2 = Old
rec.buffer(number mode) -- 0 = Off, 1 = Ram, 2 = Disk

jacob1 told me about that earlier, just had time to remove the link now. I guess the untested warning was a good idea after all (surprised it wasn't my fault lol).
