Anthropic opens Claude Meetings in beta on Google Meet

Anthropic's page dated 12 November 2026 says Claude Meetings is in beta. It says Claude can join a video call as a visible participant, follow the conversation, and start work during the meeting, including docs and whiteboards. It says support is currently for Google Meet, with other platforms to follow. It says the beta is rolling out on Team and Enterprise plans. On Team plans, inviting Claude is available by default and an admin can turn it off. On Enterprise plans, an admin turns it on.

The page says that during the beta, notes and transcripts are free on Team and Enterprise plans, as are answers in the call, unless an answer uses a connected tool, which counts toward the plan's usage. It says docs, whiteboards and other artifacts made in a call are free through 10 February 2027. It says the beta is not available to some organisations, including those with zero data retention, a HIPAA-ready configuration, or customer-managed encryption keys. It says Claude is set by default to stay out of calls when someone from outside the organisation is invited, and to leave if someone from outside joins. It says Claude saves a transcript, a summary and screen descriptions, not audio.

What it means for business: a Team or Enterprise admin controls whether Claude can join. The page says audio is not saved, and that a transcript is. People on the call are asked to agree to transcription before Claude is added or auto-join is turned on. Artifact charges, on this page, stay off through 10 February 2027. This describes the announcement. It is not advice on recording a meeting.
