Anthropic rolls out Claude Meetings beta for Google Meet

Anthropic is rolling out Claude Meetings in beta for Team and Enterprise plans, letting customers add Claude to Google Meet as a visible participant. During a call, Claude can take notes, answer spoken or chat questions, and create documents, whiteboards and slides.

The release marks the shift from a coming-soon announcement to an active beta rollout. Anthropic’s November 10 product update described the feature as coming soon alongside its addition of Sheets, Whiteboards and Data to Claude; a November 12 launch page said the beta had started rolling out. Google Meet is the only supported video-conferencing platform at launch, with other platforms planned for later.

The defaults vary by plan. Claude Meetings is on by default for Team customers, though an owner can disable it. Enterprise owners must enable the feature and can make it available to everyone or only to selected custom roles. Owners also decide whether Claude may use members’ connected tools during meetings. Each member must separately give permission before Claude uses that person’s tools.

External-guest controls vary as well. Team plans allow Claude on calls with external guests by default, while Enterprise plans default to internal meetings only; owners can change those settings. When external guests are not allowed, Claude stays out if an outside participant is invited and leaves if one joins later. When they are allowed, Claude posts a notice and takes notes but does not respond in the Meet chat. Guests’ speech is included in the notes and transcript, but external guests do not receive the internal meeting page or recap email.

Anthropic instructs users to obtain everyone’s agreement to transcription before adding Claude or enabling auto-join. Claude appears in the participant list and posts a notice in the call chat when it joins. Anthropic says the service saves a transcript, summary and descriptions of what appeared on screen, rather than audio.

The beta is unavailable to some organizations, including those using zero data retention, Anthropic’s HIPAA-ready configuration or customer-managed encryption keys. Notes, transcripts and answers that do not use connected tools are included with Team and Enterprise plans; connected-tool activity counts toward plan usage. Anthropic says documents and whiteboards created in meetings are free through February 10, 2027.
