Next meeting

Description #

The next meeting widget displays your next upcoming calendar event with the remaining time before it starts.

It uses icalBuddy to read your calendars, including recurring events, and it can detect Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and Webex links from the event URL or notes.

You must also allow Übersicht to access your calendars when macOS prompts you.

If a supported meeting URL is found and Show join button is enabled, a Join button is displayed inside the widget.
