Claude can now join your video calls and turn the conversation into tasks

Anthropic has launched Claude Meetings in beta, letting Claude join your Google Meet calls as a visible participant, follow the conversation and start on work while you talk. It is available now on Team and Enterprise plans.

What happened

Claude Meetings is a new feature that adds Claude to your video calls as a named participant. Once it is on the call, your team can ask it questions out loud or in the meeting chat. By default, Claude replies in writing inside the call.

Claude can also build documents, whiteboards and other artifacts live during the meeting, while everyone on the invite edits them at the same time. It writes the notes and action items automatically, so no one on the call has to.

After the call, everything Claude built, including notes, action items, a transcript and any documents or whiteboards, appears on a dedicated page in claude.ai. You can go back to that page later and ask Claude questions about the meeting.

Anthropologic is also working with partners including Gong, Attention, Granola, Fireflies.ai, Otter and Plaud, so you will soon be able to send a meeting transcript to tools your team already uses.

What it means for your work

• Claude appears as a participant in the call and posts a notice in the chat when it joins. It saves a transcript, summary and screen descriptions, but not audio.
• You can ask Claude to start a document, look something up in a connected tool, or put a plan on a whiteboard, all without leaving the call.
• Claude uses each person's connected tools only with that person's permission. It asks the first time, and a yes applies going forward.
• By default, Claude will not join a call if someone from outside your organisation is invited, and it leaves if an outside guest joins partway through. An admin can change this.
• Claude Meetings does not work for organisations with zero data retention (ZDR), HIPAA-ready configuration or customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK).
• Support is currently available for Google Meet only. Other video conferencing platforms are coming soon.

What to do now

1. Check whether your organisation is on a Claude Team or Enterprise plan. That is the only way to access Claude Meetings during the beta.
2. If you are on a Team plan, inviting Claude to meetings is on by default. Ask your admin if it has been turned off.
3. If you are on an Enterprise plan, ask your admin to turn it on for your team or the whole organisation.
4. Before you add Claude to a call, let everyone on the invite know they will be transcribed. The source text is clear that this step matters.
5. Find setup instructions in the Claude Help Center, linked from the Claude Meetings announcement.

During the beta, notes, transcripts and in-call answers are free on both plans. Documents, whiteboards and other artifacts Claude builds in a call are also free through 10 February 2027, after which pricing has not been announced.
