Claude Meetings went into beta on November 10, 2026, and it lets Claude join your Google Meet calls as a visible participant that answers questions in the chat, writes documents and whiteboards mid-call, and sends a recap afterward. It is available on Claude Team and Enterprise plans only, it is off by default for Enterprise accounts, and the documents it produces in meetings are free through February 10, 2027. Here is how to turn it on, how to add Claude to a call, and the privacy defaults worth checking before it touches your calendar.
What is Claude Meetings?
Claude Meetings is Anthropic's new meeting assistant, announced November 10, 2026 at Anthropic's launch event, covered by TechCrunch, The Decoder and VentureBeat. Claude joins the call with its own participant tile, posts a notice in the Meet chat with a link to its meeting page, and replies in text so everyone on the call can see its answers. During the call it takes notes, tracks action items, and builds artifacts like docs and whiteboards when anyone asks. As of November 2026, Google Meet is the only supported platform. Anthropic says others are coming but has not named them.
Who can use Claude Meetings right now?
The beta covers Claude Team and Enterprise plans, in the Claude web app and desktop app. Pro and Max subscribers are excluded for now, and organizations running zero data retention, HIPAA-ready configurations, or customer-managed encryption keys cannot use it during the beta. If your company is not on Claude yet, you can start with Claude here and test Meetings on a Team plan.

How do admins turn it on?
- An owner first enables the Google Calendar integration for the workspace. Meetings depends on it.
- Go to Organization settings, then Products, then Claude Meetings (beta).
- On Team plans the feature defaults to on for everyone, with external-guest meetings allowed. On Enterprise it defaults to off, and Claude joins only internal meetings until an owner changes that.
- Enterprise admins can use custom roles to grant "Claude Meetings" and "Meetings with external guests" separately, which is the clean way to run a pilot group before a company-wide rollout. A third control decides whether Claude can use members' connected tools during meetings.
How do you add Claude to a Google Meet call?
- Open Meetings in Claude at claude.ai/meetings.
- Connect your Google Calendar.
- Pick the meeting from your calendar and click Add Claude.
You can also turn on auto-join under Settings, Capabilities, Meetings. The options are all meetings, or all meetings except one-on-ones. Owners cannot switch auto-join on for other people, so each person opts in themselves.
What can Claude actually do during the call?
Anyone on the call can say "Claude" plus a question, or type to it in the Meet chat. It answers in the chat, visible to everyone. Ask it for artifacts the same way: "Claude, make a doc of this plan" or "Claude, put the rollout on a whiteboard." The first time Claude acts through someone's connected tool, that person has to approve it, and spoken requests get a speaker confirmation each time, so a teammate cannot quietly run queries through your CRM connection. Participants can tell Claude to stop listening and resume from the meeting page, anyone can remove it, and a session caps out at eight hours. Three prompts worth trying on your first call: ask it to recap decisions made so far, ask it to draft the follow-up email before the call ends, and ask it to turn the discussion into a project doc with owners and dates.
What happens after the meeting?
Every meeting gets its own page in Claude with the summary, transcript, and any artifacts created. Invited teammates in your organization get a recap email linking to that page, and they can view, edit, and share it internally. You can also ask a normal Claude chat about any meeting you have access to, which is where this gets useful for pipeline reviews and client debriefs. We run our own delivery work through Claude this way, a setup we walked through in our hands-on Claude Cowork guide.
What does Claude Meetings cost?
During the beta, notes, action items, transcripts, and answers that do not touch connected tools are included in Team and Enterprise seats. Answers that use connected tools count toward the requesting user's usage, so they can generate real spend. Docs, whiteboards, and other artifacts made in meetings are free through February 10, 2027, and Anthropic has not published post-beta pricing, as of November 2026.
What about privacy and external guests?
Claude stores the transcript, the summary, and descriptions of shared screens. Audio is not saved. On Enterprise defaults, Claude leaves the call if an external participant joins, and that rule also applies to other companies' note-taking bots. When an admin allows external-guest meetings, Claude listens and takes notes but does not reply in the Meet chat, and outside guests get no meeting page, no artifacts, and no recap email. Anthropic's own advice stands: confirm everyone is comfortable being transcribed before you add Claude or switch on auto-join.
Frequently asked questions
Is Claude Meetings available on the Pro or Max plan?
No. As of November 2026 the beta is limited to Claude Team and Enterprise plans, and Anthropic has not announced when or whether individual plans will get it.
Does Claude Meetings record audio?
No. It stores the transcript, a summary, and descriptions of what was shared on screen, but audio is not saved.
Which video platforms does Claude Meetings support?
Google Meet only, as of November 2026. Anthropic says more platforms are coming but has not named them or given dates.
Can Claude join meetings with people outside my company?
Only if an admin allows it. Team plans allow external-guest meetings by default, Enterprise blocks them by default, and when externals are present Claude takes notes without replying in chat.
