Changing event in Thunderbird will erase all participants from event in Google. Dismissing event notifications also will update event and erase all participants.

Works reasonable well for me (TB78.7 on OpenSUSE 15.2). Sometimes a little slow and not all features are working. I tried CALDAV but this is much worse. Most entries only show up after a long time (30 min or so) and may disappear again afer a synchronisation.

Funzionava da Dio ora sono mesi che ad ogni aggiornamento il calendario sparisce e bisogna disinstallare e reinstallare Provider inoltre da un pò comincia a dare i numeri quando modifico un evento ricorrente spesso me lo ritrovo esattamente come era in precedenza ... possibile che non si riesca a sistemare una volta per tutte ??? Delusione ...

Used to be a great add-on for Thunderbird, but ever since the jump to 78+, it is no longer compatible. Calendars no longer display by default when opening Thunderbird, and a restart to Thunderbird typically restores all calendars, but eventually they stop displaying again. Notifications for events or tasks no longer appear or synchronize. Reinstalling the add-on and re-subscribing to calendars does not work as the same problems creep back up. It's a real pity, as this add-on made Thunderbird a great Outlook alternative. Now even base Thunderbird can't sync email properly. There is no way to update or edit my Google Calendars from within Thunderbird now. Abandoning Thunderbird and this add-on soon, what a disappointment.

Stopped showing. Selecting and unselecting temporarily solves this issue.
@ Greg, CalDav only works for calendar, not for tasks associated with that particular calendar.

Dommage que depuis quelque temps, l'agenda disparaisse.
Le plus pénible est surtout le fait que sur les évènement avec des invités, dès qu'un rappel s'affiche, la liste des invités est supprimée et de ce fait, l'évènement disparait sur l'agenda des invités.
Pourriez-vous corriger ce bug très gênant.
Cela fait très longtemps que j'utilise votre module est jusqu’à présent j'en été très satisfait.

Dommage qu'il perd les agendas régulièrement. Il faut le fermer et l'ouvrir à nouveau pour retrouver ses agendas

Siempre se nos recomienda tener los programas actualizados para prevenir fallos, pero con este programa, lo siento, si te actualizas, pierdes los complementos, añadiendo los quebraderos de cabeza que te dan, hasta que te das cuenta. Thunderbird, tenia que tener integrado un calendario y direcciones, esto añadiria estabilidad al programa y mayor publicidad entre los usuarios, para no tener que buscar la solución en otros programas. Echare un vistazo al codigo, pero... es que no tengo tiempo de aprender, pero me lo apunto.

Using this addon, I had the unhide/hide after sync bug and I also couldn't accept invites scanned from my emails.
I took the advice from another reviewer and instead used the approach detailed here: https://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2017/07/how-to-setup-thunderbird-for-google-calendar-caldav-read-write-access.html to setup read-write access.
This approach worked perfectly, and I can use all the lightning features in my google calendars with no issue.

David, see my January 19 review. CalDAV is easy to set up.

Hi, I'm a longtime user of Thunderbird/Lightning. The recent inability to write to google calendar is a game-ender for me, and I imagine others. Can anyone recommend a workaround for this? I have not been able to find any solutions. I need to be able to accept calendar invites and be able to modify google calendar from Thunderbird.

Please resolve the continuing issues with Thunderbird read/write access for gmail. Every time I see a supposed fix advertised I attempt the fix and it appears to work for one or two times of cycling thunderbird then thunderbird locks up my entire laptop. It takes a few hours to reconfigure thunderbird calendar so that I can continue to use thunderbird just for email. This is extremely frustrating.
Please, if there really is a way successfully to add gmail to thunderbird, will someone who really knows publish succinct, step-by-step instructions.

Gave up on this add-on.
Just follow the procedure that Greg supplied in his comments on jan 19th 2021 for the CALDAV method.
That works fine.

Habe gerade das Addon erstmalig mit TB 78.6.1 64Bit ausprobiert. Hat auf anhieb geklappt den Google Kalender nun endlich in Thunderbird zu bekommen. Wenn es bei jemandem nicht funktioniert habt ihr eventuell die Google Settings falsch eingestellt und der Zugang wird nicht erlaubt. Dann müsst ihr den Drittanbieter Zugriff erlauben: Drittanbieter-Apps mit Kontozugriff

Not working. Says that there is no writable calendar and even changing the config every start, the event updates are not working fine.

I have Thunderbird 78.6.0 installed. This extension doesn't work properly. I can connect google calendar but it doesn't synchronize, and if by any luck it shows my items in calendar, they disappear after I close Thunderbird.

It´s good, but it´s not working at 100%
Adding / editing / deleting events in google calendar works, but it won´t add event from an email because: "No writable calendars are configured for invitations..."
I would highly appreciate this feature because that´s main reason I wanted to try this addon.
If someone can help me with this, it would be great.

Version 78.0.1 (just installed on a fresh new Thunderbird installation) :
Unlike what others say, it does NOT work with Thunderbird 78.6.0. More exactly;
- display the google agenda works
- adding a received invitation DOES NOT work : message "No writable calendars are configured for invitations"
- adding participants to a new meeting DOES NOT work, after the event is saved and closed they are not saved nor do they receive a notification.
It was the best google agenda provider but it is broken for months now since recent releases of thunderbird 78.
So I tried to use Provider for CALDAV, it is a little harder to setup since one must find the URL of the Google agenda, but it works.
The URL is https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/yourID/events where 'yourID' is the calendar ID given by google in the agenda settings.
