Research direction

Locate the back-end handling for the schedule's custom meeting link, then trace how the field is used in the FTUE and schedule page. Check the existing validation and form or API tests before adding coverage for invalid and valid external URLs in both flows. Done means the custom meeting link is rejected when invalid and accepted when valid.
