My guess as to why this isn't a built-in feature: encoding video with high fidelity is taxing on hardware (a good amount of CPU/GPU/disk space required), and it's a fairly niche use-case for any popular remote conferencing app to include and potentially fill users' disks with video by accident. Plus, the roundabout way you mentioned is probably how a lot of creators do it :)
