# Add the plugin {#quick-plugin}

Create a new content element on the page where the calendar should appear. In the
tab **Plugins** choose **Fullcalendar**. All settings are in the tab
**Plugin**, grouped in five sheets. All settings are described in the
[plugin settings reference](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/mediaessenz/fullcalendar:plugin-settings@5.0).

For a first calendar it is enough to select the event sources in the sheet
**Event Sources**:

![Plugin tab Event sources with Google calendar feeds, iCal feeds and calendarize storage pages](../Images/PluginEventSources.png)

1.  Select one or more **Google calendar feed records** or
    **iCal feed records**.
1.  Optionally select the storage pages of EXT:calendarize.
1.  Save and view the page.

If an event is clicked, a modal with its details opens:

> [!TIP]
> Settings which are empty in the plugin are taken from the Site Set settings or
> TypoScript constants. That is why most of the plugin fields show *Defined by TypoScript*.
