Hello Stefan, Enhancements needed, for interacting with calendars: attached picture is what needs to be covered. Outlook is your main opportunity, as you know, to carve out a teeny market share from ordinary users on Win 10, as well as commercial users that have to interact with M'soft Active Directory environments, without being forced to use Outlook. Also, the requested calendar-posting capabilities needed will cover users having to work with Teams, Zoom, etc. So, Google calendar, Outlook/Exchange calendar entries, and iCal entries covers most of the bases that really matter.
