Improved Link Cards
Shared links now have clearer platform icons and use website meta descriptions where available.
Support has also been added for more clickable website URLs.
LOBBY & PROFILE IMPROVEMENTS

The Profile popup has been redesigned with an updated visual style.
UPDATED SETTINGS
Disable Flashing / Strobe Effects
Added a new accessibility option to disable flashing light and strobe effects.
BUG FIXES
Muting someone and then unmuting them will no longer cause previously buffered audio to suddenly play.
Fixed an issue where players could become unexpectedly unmuted while on stage.
Thanks to Earl Cheeson for reporting the stage unmute issue.
