Anthropic launches Claude Meetings in beta: Claude joins Google Meet calls and builds docs and whiteboards while the team talks

Anthropic released Claude Meetings in beta on November 12. Claude joins a team's video call as a visible participant, answers questions asked out loud or in the chat, writes the notes and action items, and builds docs, whiteboards and other artifacts that teammates on the invite can edit while the call goes on. It is rolling out on Claude's Team and Enterprise plans and works with Google Meet first.

WHAT IT DOES

• Claude answers in writing by default, and can use each person's connected tools with that person's permission, asking the first time.
• After the call, the notes, action items, transcript and anything Claude built sit on the meeting's own page in claude.ai. You can ask Claude about past meetings you were in, or add it to the next one from your calendar.
• Anthropic says it is working with Gong, Attention, Granola, Fireflies.ai and Otter so transcripts can be sent to those tools.

PRIVACY DEFAULTS

• By default Claude stays out of calls that include someone from outside the organization, and leaves if one joins partway through. An admin can allow outside guests.
• It saves a transcript, a summary and descriptions of the screen, not audio, and posts a notice in the call's chat when it joins. Anthropic tells teams to make sure everyone on a call is OK with being transcribed.

PRICE AND AVAILABILITY

• On Team plans it is on by default and an admin can turn it off. On Enterprise plans an admin turns it on.
• During the beta, notes, transcripts and spoken answers are free on both plans, except answers that use a connected tool, which count toward the plan's usage. Docs, whiteboards and other artifacts made in a call are free through February 10, 2027.
• It is not available during the beta to organizations with zero data retention, a HIPAA-ready configuration or customer-managed encryption keys.

WHAT WE DO NOT KNOW

When other video platforms arrive (Anthropic says only 'coming soon'), what Claude Meetings will cost after the beta, and which Claude model it runs on; the post does not say.
