User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/91.0

Steps to reproduce:

Accept a meeting invite sent from MS Teams

Actual results:

When clicking on the invite as displayed within the Calendar view, the event "Description" field did display without any clickable link

Expected results:

The event Description contains a link to join the online call. It should be displayed as clickable link, or at least with a visible url that can be copied and pasted in a browser

Note: in the attached screenshot, you can see the email view of the original invite, which displays the .ics part of the multi-part mime invite email. The link added in there by MS Teams is ugly, but at least actionable.

On its right, the pop-up window which displays the event as found in the calendar, after having accepted the invite - the Description field shows the text of what should be links, but those are not clickable, making the invite useless...

The 2nd screenshot shows a similar problem, this time with an invite received from google Meet.

In this case, the .ics part does contain a description field with links to video conference, but the calendar event does not even display it at all.
