Anthropic has opened a beta of Claude Meetings, which lets Claude join a team video call as a visible participant, follow the discussion and start building documents and whiteboards while people are still talking. It is rolling out on Team and Enterprise plans, and it works with Google Meet for now.
Introducing Claude Meetings: add Claude to your team’s video call and it builds docs, whiteboards, and other artifacts with you while you’re still talking.

Once Claude is on the call, people can ask it questions out loud or in the meeting chat. It answers in writing by default, and it can use a person's connected tools with that person's permission. Ask it to start a doc and it writes up what the team has said so far, leaving the rest of the group to edit while the conversation continues. It also writes the notes and action items, which is the part most teams currently assign to someone who would rather be listening.

After the call, the notes, action items, plan and any whiteboard sit on a meeting page in claude.ai. People from the organization on the invite can read and edit them, and the page can be shared inside the company. Later, you can ask Claude about meetings you attended, or add it to the next one from your calendar.
The default privacy settings are the most careful part of the launch. Claude stays out of calls that include someone from outside the organization, and it leaves if an outside guest joins partway through. An admin can allow it on those calls, but then Claude only posts its notice in the chat and does not reply. It saves a transcript, summary and screen descriptions, not audio. When someone asks out loud, Claude asks each time to confirm who is speaking, and an answer posted in chat is visible to everyone on the call.
Anthropic also says the beta is not available to some organizations, including those with zero data retention, a HIPAA-ready configuration or customer-managed encryption keys. On Team plans the feature is on by default and an admin can switch it off. On Enterprise plans an admin has to turn it on for all or part of the organization.
Pricing during the beta is limited. Notes, transcripts and the answers Claude gives in calls are free on both plans, though an answer that uses a connected tool counts toward normal usage. The artifacts it builds during a meeting are free through February 10, 2027.
The product sits between a meeting recorder and a teammate. Tools like Otter and Fireflies produce a summary after the call, while Claude works during it and leaves a draft the group can shape. Anthropic is working with Gong, Attention, Granola, Fireflies.ai and Otter so teams can send a transcript to tools they already use. We covered the whiteboards and sheets this feature builds on. The obvious caution stands: tell everyone on the call that it is being transcribed before Claude joins.
