Google rolls out new design, accessibility improvements for embedded calendars

Embedded calendars are getting a new design and some accessibility improvements, Google announced this week. If you’re using an interactive version of Google Calendar on your website, you’ll notice that this has changed a bit visually to be in line with Google Material Design 3.

Besides the refreshed look, embedded calendars are also gaining some enhanced accessibility features, including the ability to use any embedded calendar with a screen reader and keyboard shortcuts to navigate easier.

Another important addition to embedded calendars is the improved spacing, which should make text much easier to read. Last but not least, Google says that embedded calendars now feature a responsive layout that adapts to different screen sizes seamlessly, so website visitors won’t have issues using the calendar on their phones or desktops.
