Description

Turning on and off "Embed Link Previews" by channel/room configuration would be nice. We post different RSS feeds to channels and on some channels a link preview is a kind of overhead.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the channel settings code to add a toggle for link previews. Look at the database schema for channel options and the UI components for channel configuration.
