In August 2020, Highfive released the new Highfive for Google Calendar add-on for G Suite. This new add-on provides the functionality that was previously available with the Highfive Chrome Extension for Google Calendar. Additionally, the Highfive for Google Calendar add-on makes it easier than ever to add well-formatted video conferencing links to your invitations, including scheduling Highfive meetings from mobile devices.
G Suite Administrators can enable the new add-on by following the instructions in the second section of our How to Install the Highfive Add-on for G Suite article. The following instructions will be removed when the legacy extension is retired.
