# 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.

## How to disable the feature

You can disable the menu bar item by going into Settings -> General Settings -> Calendar/Kanban Settings and toggling "Enable Tray menu" to off

## 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/)!
