Anthropic's Claude can now join video calls
Anthropic has launched Claude Meetings in beta, which lets Claude join Google Meet calls as a visible participant that answers questions, builds documents and records notes for Team and Enterprise customers.
Anthropic announced Claude Meetings, a beta feature that adds Claude to video calls as a participant. Claude follows the conversation, answers questions and starts on work while the meeting is still going. The feature is starting to roll out on Team and Enterprise plans. Google Meet is the only platform supported for now, and Anthropic says other platforms are coming soon.
People on the call can ask Claude questions out loud or in the chat. By default, Claude replies in writing. It can draw on a person's connected tools with that person's permission. Claude can also build docs, whiteboards and other artifacts live, which teammates on the invite can edit during the call. It also writes notes and action items. After the call, these items appear on a page for that meeting in claude.ai. Anthropic says it is working with Gong, Attention, Granola, Fireflies.ai and Otter so users can send transcripts to those tools.
Privacy defaults. Claude saves a transcript, a summary and descriptions of what was on screen, but not audio. When it joins, it posts a notice in the call's chat. By default, Claude stays out of calls with guests from outside the organization and leaves if one joins partway through. Admins can change this setting. When someone asks a question out loud, Claude currently asks them to confirm who is speaking each time.
Availability. Organizations using zero data retention, HIPAA-ready configurations or customer-managed encryption keys can't use the beta. During the beta, notes, transcripts and in-call answers are free. Answers that use connected tools count toward plan usage. The docs, whiteboards and other artifacts Claude makes in calls are free through February 10, 2027.
