The initial setup of the widget has been greatly simplified, allowing users to easily select their preferred calendar service and adjust the styling to meet their specific needs. This enhancement significantly reduces the setup time and makes the widget more user-friendly.
One of the major upgrades includes the widget’s capability to show actual calendar data instead of placeholder demo data. This feature provides users with a more authentic and useful display, showing real-time information that is crucial for effective planning and scheduling.
The updated widget features a better user interface and experience, facilitating the sharing of meeting room availability within organizations. It supports the management of multiple calendars, displaying them on large screens in communal areas to aid in coordination and communication.
The widget supports a variety of calendar services, including Google and Outlook, as well as integration options through API and CSV links. This compatibility ensures that users can seamlessly continue using their existing systems without needing adjustments.
New professional templates have been added to the widget, offering both light and dark modes to match different user preferences and corporate styles. These templates allow for extensive customization, including the choice of calendar views, event colors, and fonts.
All settings for the widget can now be managed from a side control panel, which simplifies adjustments and account management. This centralized panel enhances the user experience by making it easier to navigate and customize the widget according to specific requirements.

The refreshed widget (launching May 13, 2024) simplifies setup and boosts data accuracy. Now you can easily select your preferred calendar service (Google, Outlook, etc.) and quickly style the widget without hassle. Importantly, it now displays real calendar data (meetings and events) rather than dummy placeholder content, so what you see on-screen truly reflects your live schedule.
The user interface is much more intuitive, making it easy to share meeting room availability or event info. The widget supports multiple calendars at once, so different teams or rooms can be overlaid on large communal screens. This means offices can display up-to-date booking info in lobbies or breakrooms, helping everyone coordinate on the spot without checking separate calendars.
It works with all major services out of the box. Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook are fully integrated, and you can also connect via an API or simple CSV link. This ensures you can continue using your existing corporate calendars without any change to workflow.
