Description
We are just testing out NextCloud in out organisation, and hopefully migrate from Microsoft in the future. While testing I noticed that I couldn't send images from my clipboard in Linux (same in Windows client). Sending existing files did work, so it seems to be related to the clipboard itself.
I Teams I use this function quite often, taking screen shot and pasting it in the chat. I don't seems to be able to do this in Nextcloud Talk desktop client. Or am I missing something? I only get an error about file not found, and a red circle in the pasted image itself in the client, with a message about that I'm not allowed to share files in the chat.
This is a feature that should be addressed, and kind of basic functionality IMO.
The popup was a bit hard to catch (and in Swedish).

Research direction
No file or test is named in the issue. Start by reproducing clipboard image pasting in the Nextcloud Talk desktop client on Linux and Windows, then trace the desktop client's paste handling; done means a copied screenshot can be pasted and sent in chat without a file-not-found or sharing-permission error.
