Issue that this suggestion fixes

I recently stumbled upon MeetingBar and absolutely love it. Thanks a lot for your efforts!

We're using Open-Exchange, which in it's web form only offers a "Location" field, but does not populate it as a URL field. MeetingBar doesn't recognize this URL. The URL is also not a common known service name, as we host our own web conference tool using Big Blue Button.

Here is an exemplary ICS file from this tool:

Solution description

Provide an opt-in to use a URL in the LOCATION field of the ICS, if it exists and is a web URL.

Alternatives considered

I'm not aware of any alternative that I could use, as I cannot register it as a custom service and it does not detect a URL in the meeting

Additional context

No response

I don't know how I've possible been missing the regex for parsing URL, but that solves my problem! πŸŽ‰
