Is it possible for WhatsApp to detect if someone is screen recording a video call?

WhatsApp does not have any built-in feature to send notifications to users if their video call is being screen recorded. Therefore, people who use WhatsApp may not be aware if someone on the other end is recording their video call. Hence, it is important for users to be cautious about sharing sensitive information during video calls.
