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.

Research direction
The issue does not name files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how room or channel configuration is stored and how link previews are generated, then identify the existing global “Embed Link Previews” setting. Done means each channel can independently enable or disable previews without changing behavior in other channels.
