Video chat instance set - but how to launch?

Delta Chat version

1.56.1 on android

Expected behavior

I believe I must be missing something trivial, or the deltachat doc is misleading:

The docs sais, setting the video chat instance to e.g. https://meet.jit.si/$ROOM would enable video chats. But after that I don’t see any icon or similar to start a video chat.

Actual behavior

No icon or similar to start a video chat.

Steps to reproduce the problem

Just follow the docs and enter the jitsi URL for video chats. Then try to start a video chat. How?

Logs
<!--
If applicable, debug logs can be copied from within the Delta Chat app: 

Open the _Settings_ menu -> _About_ -> _version number|Info_.

Alternatively from the Android system log:

` adb logcat -v time -s DeltaChat `

This log contains private data (e.g. mail address, provider information) which shall be removed or anonymised prior to posting.

you can launch the video chat from the “Attach Menu” (the paperclip) in any chat:

note, the option is still experimental and subject to change
