Anthropic puts Claude into live video calls as a note-taking participant

Claude Meetings, now in beta for Team and Enterprise plans, lets Claude join Google Meet calls to answer questions, draft documents and log action items.

Anthropic has launched Claude Meetings, a beta feature that adds Claude to video calls as a visible participant. It is available on Team and Enterprise plans. Google Meet is the only supported video platform so far, though Anthropic says more will be added.

During a call, Claude can answer questions, create documents and whiteboards, and record notes and action items. It replies in text by default and can use connected tools once it has been given permission. When the meeting ends, the notes, transcripts and any documents Claude produced are kept on a dedicated page in claude.ai. The feature follows other recently announced Claude additions, including whiteboards and data dashboards.

Why it matters: much of everyday knowledge work happens in meetings, and the follow-up, such as writing things down, assigning actions and drafting documents, is usually done by hand. Putting an assistant in the room moves some of that work into the call itself and leaves a searchable record afterward. It also gives teams a shared way to work with an AI together, rather than each person prompting it alone. That widens access to AI help in ordinary work, but only for organizations on paid business tiers.

The limits are real. By default, privacy controls stop Claude from joining calls that include external participants. Organizations using HIPAA configurations or customer-managed encryption cannot use Meetings yet. The feature is in beta, and the details come from Anthropic's own announcement, with no independent testing reported. Watch for support beyond Google Meet and for whether the restrictions on regulated setups are lifted.
