Claude Meetings Brings Anthropic’s AI Into Your Google Meet Calls
One more participant in your Google Meet meeting, and it’s not a colleague (well, maybe): it’s Claude. Anthropic has just launched Claude Meetings in beta, a feature that lets its AI join a video call, take notes, and generate documents live. Here’s what we know.
A few hours ago, Anthropic introduced Claude Meetings on its official website. Its arrival was expected shortly after Claude Whiteboards, Claude Sheets and Claude Data, and it is now here. The idea is simple: Claude joins the call as a visible participant, with a thumbnail showing its status. When it arrives, it posts a warning message in the video call chat, along with a link to the meeting page in claude.ai.
What Claude can do during a meeting
According to Anthropic, Claude follows the conversation and starts working throughout the call:
- Questions asked aloud or in writing: just say “Claude” or type in the chat. By default, it replies in writing in the Google Meet chat.
- Live creation: it drafts documents, whiteboards, and other content that invited colleagues can edit at the same time.
- Note-taking: it writes notes and action items, and can send a recap to the team before the call ends.
- Connected tools: with the user’s permission, it relies on its connectors, for example to retrieve last year’s budget.
After the call, everything is grouped on the meeting page: notes, action items, transcript, documents, and whiteboards. Claude keeps the transcript, a summary, and descriptions of what was displayed on screen, but not the meeting audio.
Google Meet only, and not for every organization
For now, Claude Meetings is rolling out gradually on Team and Enterprise plans, and only Google Meet is supported (other platforms will arrive soon). You also need to connect Google Calendar, which must first be enabled by an organization owner, then add Claude to a calendar meeting or enable automatic connection.
If you have Team or Enterprise access, the setting is located under Organization settings > Products > Claude Meetings (beta), according to Claude’s help center. Be careful: it will be enabled for everyone by default on Team plans, and disabled by default on Enterprise plans. For now, access to this new feature also depends on your organization’s configuration in Claude. For example, organizations using zero data retention (ZDR) or a HIPAA-compliant setup (the U.S. regulation governing health data) are excluded from the beta.
During the Claude Meetings beta phase, notes, transcripts, and responses are free (to make it easier to get used to it), except for responses that rely on a connected tool (charged based on usage). Documents and whiteboards are created free of charge during the meeting, through February 10, 2027. The remaining question is what pricing will look like after that: Anthropic has not shared any details yet.
Even if the user remains in control of whether Claude is present in a meeting, note that everything Claude posts in the meeting chat is visible to all participants. Finally, Anthropic recommends making sure all participants agree to Claude being there before adding it or enabling transcription... Even if we’re starting to get used to the presence of AI for transcription... With GDPR, you still need to be careful.
