Summary

Be more productive with Google Calendar thanks to extra functionality provided by GCalPlus.

GETTING STARTED:

To enable GCalPlus options after installation go to Google Calendar online and check the boxes in the pop-out that opens when you click the GCal Plus Icon in the Chrome navigation bar, next to your User Icon, top right. If you don't see the Icon click the "Extensions" icon (jigsaw piece) and click the pin for GCalPlus. You may need to reload the page for some settings to take effect, and you need to "Authorise" for some options for which GCalPlus needs access to your calendar and some settings.

MAJOR UPDATE (Manifest v3)

Version 2.x is a major update with significant changes under the hood that will allow GCalPlus to remain on the Chrome WebStore when all Manifest v2 Extensions are removed by Google.

There will probably be bugs, but overall performance should be much improved. If you have problems with "Authorize" you might need to "Disconnect" (if possible) then revoke permissions for GCalPlus at https://myaccount.google.com/connections, then "Authorize" again.

If you have problems please get in touch directly using one of these methods:

UPDATE. Prevents Mouse Wheel Scrolling Month to Month I guess been like it for a while & put up with it but annoying now, Perhaps an update has/will fix but I use another ext. that does what I want Looks really good. Wish list : Change background colour of weekends Really highlight current day, not just the OEM blue dot Perhaps too much info. but would love option to display the Details on hover, is handy the full title but this would be a great addition. nice but not essential change background colour overall. (I see other ext's to do some of these things but not sure want to merge too many)

Great extension, BUT!!! it doesn't seem to duplicate google meet conferences assigned to the events, which makes it rather useless when all your events have meetings. Or am I missing sth?
