Thank you so much. I will give it a go. I really don't understand why
Google Home has suddenly forgotten to tell us calendar events. Joining
a list where I can ask such questions would be useful, and it's good
news that it isn't an awfully busy list. I spend more than enough time
on this computer as it is (smile)!

Hi Alison,
I haven't found a direct link for subscribing to the Blind Google Home
List, but I managed to look at the e-mails from that list I had
archived, and it's possible that
BlindGoogleHome+Subscribe@xxxxxxxxx
<mailto:BlindGoogleHome+Subscribe@xxxxxxxxx>
Might work for subscribing, although that's only a guess, as I took a
guess at the above link after reading the structure of the contact
link for the list owner which is
BlindGoogleHome+owner@xxxxxxxxx
BlindGoogleHome+<mailto:BlindGoogleHome+owner@xxxxxxxxx>
I hope this information helps.

Thanks Alexander. I didn't know there was an e-mail list for Google Home.
We spent nearly all yesterday afternoon trying to re-enable the
caldenar function, but without success. It isn't the end of the world
as I use the calendar function on my iPhone and desktop computer, but
sometimes it is useful just to ask Google if I have anything on that
day or to check the time of an event.
If anyone else knows the e-mail subscription details for the VI Google
Home list, I'd be grateful.

Hi Alison,
I do have two Google devices, a Google Home speaker in the front room,
and a Google Mini in the bedroom, but neither my wife or myself use
our speakers with the calendar function, as we generally use them for
checking other information, playing music, or in the case of the
Google Mini, setting an alarm to wake us up. We only use the speakers
to check the dates of events occasionally, so we don't actually use
the calendar function extensively, so I'm sorry I can't really help
much further, other than to suggest that it might be of help if you
were to post your query to the blind Google Home e-mail list which is
run on groups.io. I'm sorry to say that although I'm a member of
that list, I can't easily access their subscription details, as there
haven't been that many messages to that list for some time.

I know many folk on this list have Alexa sharing their lives, but I
wondered if anyone used the alternative, Google Home.
We received this as a reward for staying with our current BT contract
last year, and have been very pleased with, but today it is failing to
interact with our calendars.
I know there has been a recent update and wondered if this is a
momentary bug or whether there is something we need to do to interact
once again with our calendars.
