Works fine for me, but has one major downside that makes the plugin unusable: authentication to google must be renewed each time Thunderbird launches, which is a major pain. In simpler terms, the user is required to login to their google account each time thunderbird is opened. There is no reason whatsoever why the authentication to google could not be stored and re-used after the initial configuration. Poor design.

Unable to dismiss past events. As a workaround, I have to open the web calendar and dismiss it. There is a git issue opened for this.

Thanks for your add on. It works when Thunderbird just start or add a event on Thunderbird, it will sync into google calendar. However, it can't syn from google calendar back to Thunderbird. I believe something wrong in the write function. If I turn off the display the missing calendar, some event can't dismiss.

Seems useful, but very unreliable.
Changes on google calendar side causes it to go into a loop, either force the local changes back into google calendar, or you stay in the infinite loop (you click discard, and it keeps popping up making thunderbird unusable).

As many others have mentioned, this extension no longer syncs unless you restart Thunderbird. It's a shame because it used to be great. I don't know what's going on with the developer, but either this problem is out of his hands or he is no longer updating the extension. Either way, it's a shame.

So useful, but so unreliable.
Synchronization is made sometimes, for some items. A calendar has to be reliable. This is not the case with this add-on. And it is really a pity :(

Sync only occurs when restarting Thunderbird. Manually sync also does not work.
Thunderbird Supernova version 115.7.0 (64-bits), add-on version 115.0.2.
As a workaround I use the "Open Google Calendar" add-on (opens Google Calendar in a new tab).

Warning: Accepting/editing the event or dismissing reminder WILL REMOVE ATTENDEES!!! They'll receive a "Cancel" notification. Please fix that as soon as possible!

It works very well with TB 115.5.2(64b).
Big thanks to Philipp

I don't understand why we need an add-on so that Thunderbird can connect to Google Calendar, are there no in house engineers at Thunderbird to perform Google Calendar connection so that simply Thunderbird can show Google Calendar with any add-ons??

Respectfully, the current state of the plugin renders it unusable.
It started out ok, but a as time went on, I started to get more and more notifications from my meagre set of events.
Today, I spent ~10 minutes dodging focus-stealing notifications to get to the Thunderbird addon manager to disable the extension.
It's nice to have the calendar sidebar in Thunderbird, but I'll have to do without.
Thunderbird 115.4.3

No longer needed by me, but very many thanks to the developer who has tried, and mostly succeeded, to keep track of changing applications and APIs for many years.
Hats off to Philipp!

Syncing the calendar unfortunately no longer works reliably. It only works when I manually restart Thunderbird.

Outgoing works fine but incoming doesn't. Now I either have to shut down and restart TB - or reinstall Provider for Google Calendar so it'll sync. But then it syncs only for a short period. Please fix this?! Version 115.4.1
