Why is there no camera in Notes?

Does anyone know how to get the camera icon to show up in Notes on an iPhone running IOS 14.8?

iPhone SE, iOS 11

Make sure the note you are in was started in the iCloud or on My iPhone Group / Folder.

Other email accounts that do support notes may not support the extra features and as such the camera may not show up in Notes started in those groups.

Correct, Microsoft's Exchange does not support the extra Notes features.

Tap the icon at the bottom right.

In the next screen tap on Camera.

Thank you both for replying. 😀👍

The camera icon showed up after creating a new note from the iCloud or My iPhone. When creating a new note on our Exchange server, there were no icons showing up.
