Steps to reproduce

I have already reported this for Element at element-hq/element-android#8971, as this is dysfunctional for me in both versions.

When I try to take a photo using Element via the "+" and the camera symbol, nothing happens.

I don't use the stock camera app, but OpenCamera instead. But apparently, there's no way to configure something abut this.

I also tried this using Element. Here, I get an error: "Error: Sorry, no external application has been found to complete this action".

Anyway, I would strongly prefer to take a photo or video in-app to send it to a room, like apparently described e.g. in this PR: #6763 – like e.g. Signal does it: There, I can take a photo, do basic editing (rotating, cropping) and send it directly.

Being able to take a photo obviously ;-)
