Claude Meetings: Anthropic brings its AI assistant to Google Meet meetings

Anthropic introduced Claude Meetings, a feature that allows its artificial intelligence assistant to join Google Meet meetings to take notes, search for information, and create documents or whiteboards while the conversation is ongoing. Participants can edit materials together without waiting for the video call to end.

The tool is currently in beta for subscribers of Claude Team and Enterprise. Google Meet is the first compatible platform, although the company has indicated plans to incorporate other video conferencing services.

How Claude Meetings Works During Video Calls

Claude appears in the participants list and announces its entry through the meeting chat. Attendees can make requests by speaking or typing, and the system responds in writing while the team continues to work.

Among its capabilities, it can create a plan based on the discussion, consult company information with authorization, and organize schedules on a digital whiteboard. Participants can review and modify those materials during the same call.

At the end, Claude generates a page with various elements from the meeting:

• Notes and summary of the topics discussed.

• Transcription of the conversation.

• Task list and next steps.

• Documents and whiteboards created during the video call.

Members of the organization who have been invited can access that page and edit the materials. It is also possible to share it with other colleagues and ask Claude follow-up questions about meetings they participated in.

Anthropic is also working with Gong, Attention, Granola, Fireflies.ai, and Otter to facilitate the sending of transcriptions to those services.

How Much Claude Meetings Costs and What the Beta Version Includes

The feature requires a paid subscription to Claude. During the beta phase, Anthropic does not charge an additional fee for notes, transcriptions, or most of the responses generated by the assistant during calls.

However, the use of connected tools to respond to queries is deducted from the consumption included in the plan. The documents, whiteboards, and other materials created during meetings are free until a deadline: February 10, 2027. The company has not yet announced how much it will charge for those features after that date.

The published prices for the plans are:

• Claude Team: US$ 20 per user per month with annual billing or US$ 25 with monthly payment.

• Claude Enterprise: US$ 20 per user per month, with annual billing and a minimum of 20 licenses. Usage is billed according to API rates.

Who Can Activate Claude in Google Meet

Team customers can invite Claude by default unless an administrator disables the feature. In Enterprise, administrators must enable it and can limit its availability to certain users or extend it to the entire organization.

The assistant can also be added to a specific meeting or set up for automatic entry. The beta excludes some organizations, including those using zero data retention, HIPAA-compliant settings, or customer-managed encryption keys.

What Information Claude Records During a Meeting

Anthropic explained that Claude saves the transcription, a summary, and descriptions of the elements displayed on screen, but does not retain the audio in that record. Therefore, the company recommends ensuring that all participants agree with the transcription before inviting the assistant or enabling its automatic entry.

By default, Claude does not participate if the invitation includes someone outside the organization and leaves the call if an external guest joins. Administrators can modify that setting; in that case, the assistant announces its presence in the chat, although it keeps its responses out of that conversation. Comments from external guests are included in the notes and the transcription.
