Add ability to attach a google meet link to calendar event

[JoshTrebilco]

This PR adds a new optional function to add a google meet link when creating an event.

When creating an Event, call $event->addMeetLink();

The meet link can then be accessed using the $event->googleEvent->hangoutLink property.

This will add a Google Meet video conferencing link (similar to clicking this button on the event in Google Calendar):

See screenshots below demonstrationing functionality.

Code example with output:

The event can then be joined with google meet:

This feature is backwards compatible with existing implementations, and shouldn't have any breaking changes.

Without Meet Link (existing functionality still works):

Code example with output:

Thanks for your time in reviewing this PR, I welcome any feedback or changes requested 😁

This feature doesn't work for me
I keep getting this message from Google "Invalid conference type value"

does this feature need google workspace account or anything else?

I tested this using a Google Workspace account, with admin permissions for Google Calendar.

You might need to grant permission to attach conferenceData to the Calendar Event. Here's the section from the API that I referenced for this feature. https://developers.google.com/calendar/api/v3/reference/events#methods:~:text=writable-,conferenceData,-nested%20object

Hope this helps! Let me know if you get this working and what you configured to fix it

Can you confirm that it doesn't need a Google Wrokspace account ?

@JoshTrebilco is there a way to remove google meet link once it has been added? or you need to completely remove the event and re-add it?

No, with the current implementation, it allows you to add but not remove the meet link for a given event. You're correct in thinking that the only way is to remove the event and re-add it.
