Claude Meetings Joins Google Meet and Gets to Work While You Talk

Claude can now join your Google Meet calls, take notes and start working on whatever your team is talking about.

Anthropic launched Claude Meetings in beta today for Team and Enterprise subscribers. You can ask it a question out loud or type in the meeting chat. By default, it types back rather than interrupting the call with a spoken answer.

Say you’re planning an event. Ask Claude to put together a document as you talk, and colleagues on the invite can edit it while the discussion carries on. Need a timeline? It can build a whiteboard, too. With your permission, it can also check connected tools for information, such as what last year’s event cost.

That ties in with Claude’s new Sheets and Whiteboards tools, which arrived earlier this week. Anthropic has been adding more ways to do office work inside Claude, instead of just asking it to write something you then copy into another app.

Once the call wraps up, invited colleagues in your organization get a recap email. It links to a page with the transcript, summary, action items and anything Claude created. You can go back later and ask questions about meetings you have access to, too.

To try it, connect Google Calendar and add Claude to a meeting, as outlined in Anthropic’s setup guide. You can have it join automatically, with an option to leave one-on-one calls alone. You can also pause it or kick it out. It can stay for up to eight hours, though hopefully your next meeting won’t need that.

Google Meet is the only supported platform for now. Canada is a supported Claude market, but Anthropic hasn’t given a separate Canadian rollout date for Meetings. Published U.S. Team pricing starts at $25 US per person monthly, or $20 US per month when billed annually, with a minimum of two members. Canadian checkout pricing can vary.

The beta includes notes, transcripts and answers that don’t use connected tools. Documents and whiteboards made during calls are free through February 10, 2027. Using connected tools counts toward usage and can add charges, so not everything Claude does in a meeting is necessarily free.

There’s also the question of whether everyone wants an AI listening in. Claude shows up as a participant and posts a notice when it joins. It saves transcripts and screen descriptions, but not audio. Anthropic says to get everyone’s agreement before adding it or enabling auto-join. Anything posted in the Meet chat is visible to everyone on the call; the Claude meeting page stays within the organization.

Some organizations can’t use the beta, including those with zero data retention, HIPAA-ready setups or customer-managed encryption keys.

Would you let Claude sit in on your work meetings? This downright sounds like a timesaver for keeping track of notes and more automatically.
