Override location (Django template) This lets you customize the Location field in the calendar invitation (iCal) that is sent to participants. By default, the location is automatically set to the SIP dial-in address and meeting join URL. With this setting, you can replace it with a custom value.

The field accepts Django template syntax, meaning you can include dynamic meeting data using {{ }} variables. The available variable is meeting, which gives you access to all meeting properties.

How it works:
If the meeting type has its own override_location set, that takes priority. Otherwise, this global theme setting is used. If both are empty, the default location (SIP address + join URL) is used.

Example variables:
{{ meeting.title }} ({{ meeting.dialstring }}) - {{ meeting.get_join_url }}

Example result:
"Weekly Standup ([email protected]) - https://portal.example.com/join/abc123/"

Upload icons Upload an icon for use in Outlook. The format should be .png and it should be uploaded in 5 different sizes (16x16px, 32x32px, 64x64px, 80x80px, 128x128px).
