Anthropic has begun rolling out Claude Meetings in beta, letting Claude join a team video call as a visible participant instead of waiting until the meeting ends. On Google Meet, teammates can address Claude out loud or in the meeting chat. By default it answers in writing, and with permission it can pull answers from connected tools. While the call is still running, Claude builds documents, whiteboards and other artifacts that everyone on the invite can refine, and it writes the notes and action items so no one on the call has to.

The rollout targets paid teams first. Claude Meetings is in beta on Team and Enterprise plans, with Google Meet as the only supported platform for now and other video services promised without a date. On Team plans, inviting Claude is on by default and admins can switch it off, while Enterprise admins must enable it for the whole organisation or selected groups. Some regulated setups are excluded during beta, including zero data retention, HIPAA-ready configurations and customer-managed encryption keys. When external guests are on a call, admin approval is required or Claude leaves the meeting.

Pricing is built to pull teams in. During the beta, notes, transcripts and in-call answers are free on Team and Enterprise plans, with only answers that call connected tools counting toward normal usage limits. Artifacts created in a meeting stay free through 10 February 2027. Claude Meetings arrives alongside Claude Sheets and Claude Whiteboards, and reads as a deliberate push from developer tooling into everyday knowledge work. For founders the practical work is governance: tell participants the assistant is present, decide who may add it, and make sure confidential calls do not get recorded into a tool your policy does not cover.
