Claude Meetings joins Google Meet calls and builds docs and whiteboards live

Anthropic is rolling out Claude Meetings in beta on Team and Enterprise plans. Claude can join a Google Meet call as a visible participant, take notes, and build docs, whiteboards and other artifacts while the conversation is still going.

At a glance

  • Claude Meetings is rolling out in beta on Team and Enterprise plans, in Claude and Claude Desktop. At first it works with Google Meet, and Anthropic says support for other platforms is coming.
  • You can add Claude to a call, or turn on auto-join. It appears as a visible participant, posts a notice in the Meet chat, and can stay for up to eight hours.
  • During the call, anyone on the team can ask it out loud or in chat to make a doc or a whiteboard, and teammates on the invite can edit what it builds. After the call, the notes, transcript, action items and artifacts sit on a meeting page in claude.ai.
  • Notes, transcripts and ordinary answers are included on Team and Enterprise plans. Docs, whiteboards and other artifacts made in a call are free through 10 February 2027. Connected-tool answers count toward usage. It isn't available to some organisations, including those with zero data retention, HIPAA-ready configuration, or customer-managed encryption keys.
  • Pedro Duarte of Raycast joked that Claude woke up and decided to have granola for breakfast today. Anthropic's own launch note says it is working with partners including Granola, Otter, Fireflies.ai, Gong and Attention so teams can soon send a transcript to the tools they already use.

The official Claude account has announced Claude Meetings: add Claude to your team’s video call and it builds docs, whiteboards, and other artifacts with you while you’re still talking. It’s starting to roll out in beta on Team and Enterprise plans.

Anthropic’s launch note says Claude joins as a visible participant, follows the conversation and starts on work during the meeting. Your team can ask questions out loud or in chat. By default, Claude answers in writing, and it can use connected tools with your permission. Teammates on the invite can refine the docs and whiteboards as they’re built. Claude writes the notes and action items, so no one on the call has to.

At first, support is for Google Meet, with other platforms coming soon. In Claude, you connect Google Calendar, pick a meeting and click Add Claude, or turn on auto-join for all your meetings, or all of them except one-on-ones. Owners can’t set auto-join for you. Claude can stay for up to eight hours and warns you before it leaves, according to the help centre guide.

On Team plans, Meetings is on by default and an owner can turn it off. On Enterprise plans, an owner turns it on for all or part of the organisation. While it’s in beta, it isn’t available to some organisations, including those with zero data retention, HIPAA-ready configuration, or customer-managed encryption keys.

By default, Claude stays out of calls when someone from outside your organisation is invited, and leaves if someone from outside joins partway through, including another company’s notetaker bot. An admin can allow it on those calls. When that happens, Claude posts its notice in the call’s chat but doesn’t reply there, and what guests say is included in the notes and transcript. Guests don’t get the meeting page or the recap email.

When Claude joins, it appears as a participant and posts a notice in the chat. It saves a transcript, summary and screen descriptions, not audio. Anthropic says to make sure everyone on the call is okay with being transcribed before you add Claude or turn on auto-join.

Notes, transcripts and answers that don’t use connected tools are included on Team and Enterprise plans. Docs, whiteboards and other artifacts made in a call are free through 10 February 2027. Using connected tools counts toward your own usage and can lead to charges for your organisation.

Pedro Duarte of Raycast quoted the announcement and wrote, “claude woke up and decided to have granola for breakfast today.”

Anthropic’s own launch note lists Granola among the partners it is working with, alongside Gong, Attention, Fireflies.ai and Otter, so you’ll soon be able to send a meeting’s transcript to the tools your team already uses.
