Description

### Steps to reproduce

### Steps to reproduce

**How to Replicate**

1. Have TOR daemon running.
2. run:
a. `nohup sh -c 'element-desktop --proxy-server=socks5://127.0.0.1:9050 --profile DebugProfile' > ~/nohup-DebugProfile.out &`

3. Attempt to send video to another person.

**What I expect to happen**
Video uploads

**What actually happens**
Video bar progresses quickly then error declaring that the upload has failed appears.

Network Tab shows:

Upload status: Cancelled after 30.23s

It seems quite obvious what's happening, but how do I fix it?

### Outcome

#### What did you expect?
File to upload

#### What happened instead?
File cancelled itself

### Operating system

Linux

### Application version

1.11.67

### How did you install the app?

Built from source

### Homeserver

_No response_

### Will you send logs?

No - The networking output shows clearly what element is doing and why it won't upload the video. Timeout is reached.
