Key Notes
- Claude Meetings is rolling out in beta for Team and Enterprise users, allowing Claude to join Google Meet and create shared materials during a call.
- Notes, transcripts and answers without connected tools are included during the beta, while artifact creation is free through February 10, 2027.
- Connected-tool use counts toward plan usage, and organizations control access while Claude retains transcripts and summaries rather than audio.
Anthropic is bringing Claude into Google Meet, giving teams an AI participant that can follow a discussion, answer questions and start building documents or whiteboards before the call ends.
The company launched Claude Meetings in beta on November 12 for Team and Enterprise plans. Participants can address Claude out loud or type a request into the meeting chat. By default, its answers appear in writing.
The aim is to turn decisions into shared work while the people making them are still together. A draft plan, diagram or list of next steps can be checked and revised during the conversation, with the meeting’s record available afterward.
From discussion to a working document
Claude appears as a visible participant and posts a notice when it joins. It can take notes, identify action items and create materials that teammates can edit live. In Anthropic’s demonstration, a customer-event discussion becomes a planning document and a whiteboard timeline.
Connected services can supply additional information or let Claude carry out a task. Anthropic’s help guide explains that Claude uses each participant’s tools with that person’s permission. The first approval applies going forward; during the beta, spoken requests also require confirmation of who is speaking.
That permission model matters when a conversation moves from reviewing information to doing something with it. A request involving company files or a connected application can draw on access belonging to an individual participant.
Claude’s meeting page keeps the transcript, notes and materials together. Colleagues from the organization who are on the invitation can review the record and edit what Claude created. They can also ask Claude about past meetings they have access to.
What is free during the beta
Notes, transcripts and answers that do not use connected tools are included on Team and Enterprise plans during the beta. Answers that call a connected service count toward the user’s plan usage and can lead to charges for the organization.
Documents, whiteboards and other artifacts created in a call are free through February 10, 2027.
The separate Whiteboards guide confirms that boards created inside a Claude Meetings call follow Meetings pricing. Boards used elsewhere in Claude count toward the normal plan limits.
Google Meet first, with organization controls
Google Meet is the supported conferencing platform at launch. Anthropic says support for others is coming, and is working with partners including Gong, Granola, Fireflies.ai and Otter on ways to send meeting transcripts into existing tools. Those partner transfers are described as forthcoming.
Team organizations get Meetings enabled by default, with owners able to disable it. Enterprise owners must turn it on for everyone or selected roles. The beta is unavailable to organizations with certain configurations, including zero data retention, HIPAA-ready settings or customer-managed encryption keys.
Organizations can also control whether Claude attends calls with external guests. When such calls are allowed, guests’ contributions enter the transcript, but Claude does not reply in the Meet chat. The Claude meeting page and its working materials remain internal to the organization.
A transcript remains after the call
Anthropic says Meetings saves a transcript, summary and screen descriptions, rather than the audio. Participants should therefore understand that a persistent written record is being created even though the audio is not stored.
Users can pause Claude, ask it to leave or remove it through the meeting page. Adding it through the calendar or enabling auto-join also requires the team to make sure everyone is comfortable with transcription.
The release extends the collaborative workspace tools Anthropic introduced earlier this week with Whiteboards, Sheets and Data. Meetings gives those shared materials another starting point: the conversation where a team is deciding what to do.
