Anthropic Launches Claude Meetings Beta

Anthropic began offering the Claude Meetings beta on November 12 U.S. time. The feature joins video calls to take meeting notes, answer questions and collaborate on materials. It is available to Claude Team and Enterprise plans and currently supports Google Meet, with support for other video services planned.

Users can add Claude to a meeting and address it by name or give it instructions through Google Meet chat. By default, Claude responds with text in the chat. It can create documents, whiteboards and slides in real time based on the discussion, which attendees can edit together while the meeting continues. For example, if asked for an event plan during a planning meeting, Claude can draft one from the discussion so far.

Claude can use connected external tools to look up past event costs and compare them with a current plan, or send messages to Slack. Each user must authorize use of external tools. After a meeting, summaries, transcripts, action items and materials created by Claude are saved to a meeting page on claude.ai. Invited members of the organization can view and edit them, then ask Claude questions about the meeting later.

Users can choose whether Claude joins meetings manually or automatically. The feature is enabled by default on Team plans; Enterprise administrators must enable it. When Claude joins, it appears in the attendee list and sends a notice in the chat. Claude does not save meeting audio, but it does save transcripts, summaries and descriptions of on-screen content. All attendees must consent to transcription before use.

During the beta, taking notes and answering questions without connected tools is free. Using connected tools counts toward plan usage. Documents and whiteboards created during meetings are also free through February 10, 2027. Some organizations using zero data retention (ZDR), HIPAA-ready configurations or customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK) cannot use the feature.
