Google Calendar and Meet Integration in Windows 11’s Taskbar with Calendar Flyout 2.1

The Calendar Flyout application has recently undergone a significant upgrade, now available in version 2.1. This third-party tool is designed to enhance the underwhelming calendar functionality of Windows 11’s taskbar. A standout feature of this update is the integration of Google Calendar, allowing users to seamlessly access their Google Calendar events and join Google Meet meetings—functionality still lacking in the native Windows 11 setup even three years post-launch.

In addition to incorporating Google Calendar and Meet, version 2.1 of Calendar Flyout introduces compatibility with the traditional Outlook app, features two new language localizations (German and Italian), and offers an innovative agenda widget that can be added to the Windows Widgets Board in Windows 11.

Below is the detailed changelog for this version:

New Features:

• Added support for Google accounts
• Enabled Google Meet functionality for online meetings
• Included support for the Outlook app within the Microsoft 365 suite
• Introduced German and Italian language options
• Launched a new agenda widget for the Windows Widgets Board
• Implemented separate settings for event indicator visibility within calendar views

Improvements and Fixes:

• Enhanced communication protocols between app processes
• Updated title bar styles in the settings interface
• Resolved scrolling and alignment issues for displays with DPI settings under 100%
• Fixed real-time synchronization mechanisms
• Corrected time formats in time selection tools
• Adjusted date formatting and style options in date selection tools
• Refined the calendar picker within the agenda view
• Improved account authentication procedures

Even for those who do not use Google Calendar or Meet, the Calendar Flyout app provides a wealth of features that enhance the calendar experience, compensating for the functionalities that Microsoft eliminated during the transition from Windows 10 to 11. The calendar on the Windows 11 taskbar remains a neglected feature that lacks essential capabilities such as event creation, agenda viewing, and meeting participation. Calendar Flyout addresses these shortcomings effectively.

Calendar Flyout version 2.1 is available as a complimentary update for all current users. New users can purchase the application via the Microsoft Store for $2.69.
