It does what it claims: opens the google calendar web page in a Thunderbird tab, and allows you to interact with the calendar in exactly the same manner you would with a web browser.
I started using this add-on only a month or so ago, when the "Provider for Google Calendar" add-on inexplicably stopped working for me; it repeatly asks to authenticate with google, but never manages to do so. "Open Google Calendar" filled the void, but unlike Lightning, only supports google calendar.
In late November, Open Google Calendar stopped working with the latest version of Thunderbird. I reverted to Thunderbird-60 and OpenGoogleCalendar-1.4 to continue access to my calendar in Thunderbird. Today, Ubuntu updated Thunderbird to version 68; lo and behold, Open Google Calandar still works! Checking the Thunderbird Add-Ons tab, it claims to be disabled, but it still opened up when Thunderbird started and appears to be fully functional. Go figure.
If there's one thing that prevented my giving 5 stars, it's that updates don't come in a particularly timely manner. But it's working, so I'm not complaining. Much.

Very good! Unfortunately, no longer compatible with Thunderbird 68.2. I hope there will be an update !!

Previously worked perfectly: On first use you should see the Google Calendar login page. When you login you
will be prompted by a notification bar which can save your username and password
for the site.
But the above no longer applies seem to have to login each time.

Previously, I used the now defunct Google Calendar Tab. This is a worthy successor, and the most important Thunderbird extension for me.

Please (!) update this plugin for compatibility to Thunderbird 68.2.0. We cannot live without it.

Thank you!
This is the simplest yet most useful integration of Google Calender in Thunderbird, showing you not only the calendars, but also Google Notes and Tasks!

I've been mucking around, on and off, for years, making sure that my online and offline calendars are synchronised. Now they are, thanks to your Open Google Calendar extension. I also have the same issue (it's not much of an issue, really) with Google Contacts. Do you fancy writing an Open Google Contacts Add-on? :-)

Best add-on ever used.
Using Open Google Calendar I'm able to include Google Calendar, Google Contacts, Google Keep, Google Drive, Google Photos, Google News & Google Search tabs whenever I open Thunderbird. Everthig is bi-directional & updates instantly across all my devices.
Don't really need a browser anymore.

Grottenschlecht.
Seit 3 oder 4 Stunden suche ich mir den Ast ab. ich habe hier ein Falsches google Kontro drin. Es gbt 100 % keinen weg wo man das richtige Google Kontro hinzufügen kann. Es haben sich gleich mehrere bekannte/Freunde an diesen Addon versucht. keiner hat es gefunden. Immer hin sehe ich Termine von Fremden Accounts.. Ein Account ist drin der nicht mir gehört. Datenschutz gibt es hier wohl nicht.

Great add-on! However, I cannot sign into a second account. I need to be able to see calendars for multiple accounts.

A note for those who have problems with the tasks disappearing: I had the same problem, but found out that, if you close the tasks sub-window before closing the calendar tab, the next time you open the tab, the tasks will be closed, but when you open the window, the taks won´t disappear! So, you just need to close it before closing the tab! Don´t know why it works...rs
I´m a user of Google Calendar, and have been looking for quite a good time for the best way to use it with a email client, without the need to open browser or apps. I like Thunderbird and now with this extension it is simply very good.

I have the same problem with the tasks, they appear at the beginning of selecting the calenadario icon, but only for a brief period of time, then they disappear and the window remains blank.
It hurts, because I use this part of the calendar a lot, and it forces me to have the Google application open.
I hope it can be resolved soon.
