I cannot add a new Google account in my calendar application

I am iMac macOS Big Sur version 11.6.1


When I try to add a new google account in Calendar my screen goes to (see screen shot). It would appear to allow me to add, say, a Yahoo account but not google.


Any suggestions?

Hey JohnCrooks,


It appears that you're having a problem adding your Gmail account to the Calendar app, and we're glad to provide assistance.


Use your internet accounts on Mac - Apple Support -- Instead of adding your Gmail account directly to the Calendar app, we recommend adding the account to Apple Menu  > System Preferences > Internet Accounts. Once it's been added, you can select which services you'd like to use it for on your Mac.


Set up iCloud features on Mac - Apple Support -- If your Gmail account also serves as your Apple ID, you can go to Apple Menu  > System Preferences > iCloud, and turn on the Calendar there.


Feel free to get back to us with any questions or problems you may have.


All the best.
