Overview
What Next Event Calendar does
To show your next Google Calendar, Outlook or iCloud meeting on a Stream Deck, add Next Event Calendar, put its Next Event key on your Stream Deck and paste your calendar's private iCal (.ics) link in its settings: the key shows the time, a live countdown and the title, turns amber a few minutes before the start and red when it starts.
One press joins the meeting's Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet or Webex link, and there is no sign-in to Google or Microsoft.
Features
What you can do
02
Join with one press
From 10 minutes before a meeting, a press opens its Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex or other meeting link. The Join Meeting key always holds the next meeting that has a link.
03
See your day as a timeline
The Timeline key shows the next 4, 8 or 12 hours as a band, one block per event in its calendar's color. Press to step through the events with their times.
04
Pick your look
Classic, Neon, Ring, Bars or Solid for every key, with a 12 or 24 hour clock.
05
In English and Japanese
The keys and the settings follow the language of your Stream Deck app.
06
Clear when a link fails
If a calendar cannot be loaded, the key keeps the events it had with a small dot, or shows a plain word such as Link expired or Offline. The settings page says what happened and when it last loaded.
Also built in
Up to 3 calendars, work, personal and team, merged into one list. The same event in two calendars is shown once.
Repeating events, moved and cancelled dates, all-day events and time zones are handled: a moved meeting shows at its new time and a cancelled date is left out.
- Private by design
The calendar link stays in the Stream Deck app on your PC and goes only to your calendar's own site. No account, no server of ours, no telemetry.
Set up
How it works
- Install the plugin from the Elgato Marketplace. In the Stream Deck app, drag Next Event, Join Meeting or Timeline onto a key.
- Copy your calendar's private iCal (.ics) link: in Google Calendar under Settings, Integrate calendar, "Secret address in iCal format"; in Outlook under Settings, Calendar, Shared calendars, Publish a calendar; in iCloud by turning on Public Calendar. Paste it into Calendar 1 in the key's settings.
- The key shows your next event right away and checks the calendar about every 5 minutes. The Status line in the settings says when each calendar was loaded.

How do I show my next Google Calendar or Outlook meeting on Stream Deck?
Add the Next Event key of Next Event Calendar and paste your calendar's private iCal (.ics) link in its settings. The key shows the time, a countdown and the title of your next event right away, turns amber before it starts and red when it starts.
Can I join a Zoom, Teams or Google Meet call with one Stream Deck button?
Yes. The Next Event key joins when the meeting starts within 10 minutes or is running, and the Join Meeting key opens the next meeting link at any time. Webex, GoTo Meeting, Whereby, Jitsi, Amazon Chime and Slack huddle links work too.
Do I need to sign in to Google or Microsoft?
No. The plugin reads the calendar link you paste, the same way a calendar app subscribes to it. Nothing about your account is asked or stored.
Why does a change in my calendar take a while to show?
The plugin checks every 5 minutes, but your calendar site updates the shared link on its own schedule, from minutes to a few hours. The key shows the change once the site has updated the link.
Can I show more than one calendar?
Yes. Paste up to 3 calendar links, for example work, personal and a team calendar. They are merged into one list, each with its own color on the Timeline key, and the same event in two calendars is shown once.
