# Mac calendar menu bar
{% hint style="info" %}
**If you are unable to see the menu bar, please note that it can be hidden behind the Notch if you have a Macbook with that feature. You will have to get rid of other icons on the right to make sure that it has enough room to be visible.**\
\
**TIP: You can hold down CMD and drag the menu bar to the right to make sure it is always visible.**
{% endhint %}
## What is this feature?
If you're on the Mac, Ellie automatically adds a menu bar item at the top right of your screen so you can quickly glance and see upcoming calendar events.
If there is a Zoom or Google meet link attached to the event, a button to join the meeting will also appear.

## FAQ
**Is this on by default?**
Yes. If you have trouble seeing it, check the note at the top of the page^
**Can I add events/tasks from this menu?**
Not at this time. However, this feature is just a v1 and I plan to add many improvements to it over time. If you have any suggestions, please add them to our [feedback board](https://feedback.ellieplanner.com/)!

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://guide.ellieplanner.com/features/mac-app/mac-calendar-menu-bar.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
