The PS5 doesn't need to, they get it all in metadata because they control the full stack — TVs do it because they have less control over sources.

The PS5 does actually record video all the time in a ring buffer. That’s how when you press the share button, it includes a video of the recent past.

I'm sure somebody's done it, but mine isn't. I do make sure to pull the microphones out of the controllers at least so while they can watch everything I'm doing on my screen they can't listen to the entire house.
