Anthropic has introduced “Claude Meetings,” a feature that integrates its AI assistant, Claude, into team video calls. During a call, Claude can answer questions, take meeting notes, and generate documents or whiteboard content based on the ongoing discussion. The feature is currently available in beta for Claude Team and Enterprise users, with Google Meet as the first supported platform. Anthropic has indicated plans to extend support to other video conferencing services in the future, though no specific timeline has been announced.
Features of Claude Meetings
According to a company blog post, users can add Claude to a Google Meet call as a visible participant. Once added, users can interact with the AI by asking questions via voice or the meeting chat. By default, the assistant provides text-based responses, and with the necessary permissions, it can also utilize connected tools to retrieve information.
Claude claims it can automatically generate documents and whiteboards during a meeting, using the ongoing conversation as a starting point. For instance, a team discussing a project could ask it to draft a plan or create a schedule. Meeting participants can then edit these documents in real time as the discussion unfolds. Furthermore, with the necessary permissions, it can pull information from connected services whenever the discussion requires it.
The company added that Claude saves meeting transcripts, summaries, notes, action items, and any documents created to a page on claude.ai. Participants can revisit this page later to review the discussion or ask follow-up questions.
There are certain limitations regarding who can participate in a call with Claude. By default, it will not join meetings that include individuals from outside the organization, and it will automatically exit if an external participant joins later. When Claude joins a meeting, a notification appears in the meeting chat. The assistant transcribes the discussion and describes shared screens, but it does not record audio. Anthropic advises users to inform participants and obtain their consent before enabling the transcription feature.
Claude Meetings
Claude Meetings is currently available in beta for Google Meet users with Claude Team or Enterprise subscriptions. Team subscribers have access by default, though administrators can disable this feature. For Enterprise users, an administrator must enable the feature for the organization or specific groups. This beta is not available to organizations that use zero-data-retention policies, HIPAA-compliant configurations, or customer-managed encryption keys.
During the testing period, meeting transcripts, notes, and responses from Claude are provided free of charge. However, the use of associated tools will count toward your plan’s usage limits. The company added that documents and whiteboards created during meetings will remain free to use until February 10, 2027.
