Extra information:
Since Android 11, OnePlus added some restrictions in OxygenOS that limits access to the extra cameras to a certain list of “package names”. If you have an 8/8Pro/8T, you should use the “snap” or “snapcam” version of the .apk (the ones linked above are ok).
Video recording might be better on the stock camera. It works on GCam, but stabilisation is superior on the stock OnePlus camera app.
No root, unlocking, etc, is needed. You just have to install the apk, load a config file and use the app!
