Anthropic wants Claude to be the colleague who never skips the meeting. A beta called Claude Meetings lets the assistant dial into a Google Meet session, show up in the participant list, and keep minutes and a to-do list for the team.
It is rolling out from 12 November to Team and Enterprise plans, and Google Meet is the only platform supported at the moment. Some regulated customers, for example those with HIPAA-ready accounts, are not eligible during the test.
Attendees get its attention by saying “Claude” followed by a question, or by typing into the Meet chat, where it normally writes its reply. Saying “Claude, make a doc” or “Claude, make a whiteboard” starts one that teammates can edit while the meeting goes on, which extends the shared spreadsheets and whiteboards Claude gained earlier this week. Anthropic’s announcement gives the example of a team planning a customer event, where Claude asks permission before looking up last year’s budget and posts the figure in the chat.
To add it, you connect Google Calendar, pick the meeting in Claude’s Meetings section and click Add Claude. You can also turn on auto-join for every meeting or for every meeting except one-on-ones. If the host declines, Claude does not try that call again, and once admitted it can stay for up to eight hours.
The privacy settings matter more than the features. Claude posts a notice in the call chat when it joins and keeps a transcript, a summary and descriptions of what was shown on screen, but not the audio. Anthropic’s advice is to check that every attendee accepts a transcript before adding Claude. By default Claude stays out of calls where someone from outside your organisation is invited, and leaves if an outsider joins midway; an admin can allow it, and then it listens and takes notes without replying in the chat.
Afterwards, every call has a page in claude.ai holding the transcript, the notes, whatever Claude produced and an internal chat. People from your organisation on the invite get a recap email, and you can ask Claude about past meetings later in a normal chat.
While the beta lasts, notes, transcripts and typed answers cost nothing extra on both plans. The exception is an answer that needs a connected tool, which is billed against your usage. Docs and whiteboards made in a call are free through 10 February 2027. Anthropic says Gong, Attention, Granola, Fireflies.ai and Otter will soon be able to receive a meeting’s transcript, and that other video platforms are coming, without naming them.
