Connect Google Calendar

Connect an account to see upcoming meetings from its main Google calendar. Recordstead reads events without changing them. Calendar events do not start a recording; Call Detection is a separate choice.

Connect an account

1. Open Settings (⌘,) › Calendar and click Connect.
2. In your browser, choose your Google account and allow read-only calendar access.
3. Return to Recordstead. The account appears in Settings, and Home's Next card shows the next eligible meeting in the active workspace.

Use Add Account… to connect another account. Each connection can have its own workspaces.

For a recurring meeting, Open Last Time opens an earlier recording matched to the same calendar event in this workspace, when one is available.

If the meeting is missing

Check that the event is in the account's main calendar. All-day events, canceled events and invitations you declined are excluded. Also check the account's workspace selection.

If Google cannot be reached, Recordstead may show the last events it read; the connection status tells you when the information is stale.

Sign in again

If the account asks for Reconnect, click it and finish signing in in your browser. If Choose Workspaces appears, select the intended spaces or explicitly choose All Workspaces, then click Reconnect.

This extra choice appears when you signed in to a different account or Recordstead could not confirm the same account. Cancel keeps the previous connection. A repeated sign-in can leave separate connection rows; use Remove from This Mac for an unwanted row.
