Cal Merge for Google Calendar™ Extension

Visually merge the same event on multiple Google Calendars™ into one event.

Do you view at the same time:
- You work and personal calendar
- Your team's shared calendar
- A private calendar with loads of \"Busy\" blocks
- Or some strange combination of events?

These likely clutter up your calendar and if long titled are hard to read. This extension merges all those separate events into one event, and colours it with a user selected gradient style.

Juan Martitegui (ID: 000000d7156bf22c) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/23/2023 This is a great extension and really useful. The only thing I wish is that on "mouse hover" I should be able to see which "event" I want to click and open. Because I use reclaim.ai and sometimes the events don't have the same description, etc. It will be great if there is a blended event of 2 calendars. Cal1 = blue and Cal2= Red ... if I click more in the "red" I get the Cal2 description/Detail window, if I click on the blue, I get the Cal1 Description/Detail window

Anton Jonsson (ID: 000000f4599747b6) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 04/18/2023 Didn't work as expected at all. - Whole day events extend over days that it shouldn't eg. over Saturday and Sunday. - Does not compress merged events at top of day. There are still empty rows in between merged events. This is not an upgrade from the old one it's trying to replace. I'm changing back to "Event Merge for Google Calendar", it's better than this new one, even though it hasn't been updated since 2019.

Melissa Fritz (ID: 000000b2b0b45ef9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/29/2023 Works as advertised. Also allows you to choose how merged events should appear (striped, blended, etc.).
