Unable to add my google account to Provider for Google Calendar (add-on)

I have recently found this article about how being able to use Google Calendar on Thunderbird, so I have downloaded and installed the add-on from here. I have been following the steps and I don't see any option to add my Google account, according to the article, I should be able to add it by going to File > New > Calendar > On the Network, but I only see iCalendar(ICS) and CalDAV there. There's no Google Calendar option.

What should I do?

I'm using Thunderbird 78.2.1 (64 bit) on Kubuntu 20.04 (Linux).

Thanks @sfhowes! I had Provider 68.2.1. Now it works with the new version :)
