Video call software that saves video on disk in source quality?

Question

It's kind of obvious stuff when you do a remote interview to be published - to talk in real time, but later assemble video "in post" based on recordings (made locally on both ends) that won't suffer from dropouts and low bitrate.Yet, a cursory search did not reveal anything like that. Nobody thought of this already? You could do this in a roundabout way (OBS and Skype/Zoom/whatever in parallel), yet this is begging for a nice package.

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 :)
