These are two different features as far as i know. For videoplayback with hardwaredecoding VAAPI videoencoding needs to be supported. For conference tools like google meet chromium needs to support videoencoding and videodecoding with Webrtc. On Windows both functions are implementet. The linuxversion never had support for it.
