Did you probably delete old JPG format? It is not possible to have only WebP format for thumbs, because not all browsers still support it.

So you have to use both JPG and WebP formats, that's why theme settings page has JPG format required.

I added jpg back and voila it stopped showing !! missing !!

 

I can now able to add webp format, even after doing everything right it is still showing jpg, i couldn't understand why.

 

Also confirm me is it not possible to add same sizes for webP and JpG?

Why does it shows active required?

No, format size is a unique format identified (a directory on filesystem), so you can't have 2 formats with the same size. Should be slightly different sizes.

It shows that format status is required, which means this format will be created for all videos. Unlike video formats, screenshot formats have only this active status, so all existing screenshot formats if they are not in the process of creation / deletion will have this status.
