FaceTime screen record but there is no way to record the audio? What? That's silly!

Maybe I'm missing something, but what is the point of being able to screen record the facetime video if the audio feature is disabled? I'm on IOS27, iPhone 17 pro max and they showed the new Iphone duo with the new feature but to screen record the facetime with no audio is kind of useless? Am I missing something the purpose of this?

Apple blocks internal audio during FaceTime screen recordings to comply with strict wiretapping, privacy, and two-party consent laws. While you can enable your external microphone in the control center , it will not capture the other person's voice directly from the call.
