[Google Chrome Calendar extension](https://coderpad.io/resources/docs/interview/integrations/google-chrome-calendar-extension/) [Documentation menu](#docs-navigation) # Google Chrome Calendar extension Last updated on October 16, 2026 > ![ℹ️](https://coderpad.io/assets/emoji/2139.svg) As part of CoderPad’s rebranding effort, CoderPad Live is now just Interview. We’re still working on updating the branding in the Chrome Web Store, until then you’ll still see references to “CoderPad” or “CoderPad Live” when you search within the store. Create and link pads directly in Google Calendar or through the Chrome browser extension to help you schedule technical interviews. - [Getting the extension](#getting-the-extension) - [Set up](#set-up) - [Using the extension](#using-the-extension) - [Creating a pad through the browser plugin](#creating-a-pad-through-the-browser-plugin) - [For the live interview pad](#for-the-live-interview-pad) - [For the take-home pad](#for-the-take-home-pad) - [Creating a live interview pad through a Google Calendar invite](#creating-a-live-interview-pad-through-a-google-calendar-invite) ## Getting the extension Download the extension from [the Chrome Web Store](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/coderpad/gggomabkbnhcbmlgfdabcpopfdgkoapn?hl=en&authuser=0).
