Most meeting tools start working after the call ends. Claude Meetings starts while everyone is still talking.
Claude Meetings adds Claude to your Google Meet call as a visible participant. It takes notes, answers questions and builds documents, plans and whiteboards during the discussion. Anthropic began rolling it out in beta on November 12, 2026.
Where to find Claude Meetings
Open the Meetings page in Claude, which shows upcoming Google Meet calls from your Google Calendar, and add Claude to the meeting you choose. You can also turn on automatic joining.
Because it is a new beta, your account may not show it yet.
What your plan includes
- Team and Enterprise plans: the beta is limited to these plans. Free, Pro and Max plans do not include it.
- Google Meet only, for now: Anthropic says other video platforms are coming, without dates.
- Admin settings: owners and admins decide whether Meetings is available in your organization.
- Beta pricing: documents and other artifacts Claude creates in a call are free through February 10, 2027.
- Exclusions: organizations using zero data retention, Anthropic's HIPAA-ready setup or customer-managed encryption keys cannot use it yet.
When Claude Meetings earns its place
- Planning sessions, where Claude can draft the plan or timeline while you discuss it.
- Brainstorms, where a whiteboard builds as people talk.
- Questions during the call, such as asking Claude to check a fact or find a document.
- Teams already working in Claude, so the notes sit next to your other work.
How to use Claude Meetings, step by step
Step 1: Check that you have access. You need a Team or Enterprise plan with Meetings turned on, a Google Meet call and Google Calendar connected to Claude.
Step 2: Tell participants first. Claude transcribes the call, so make sure everyone is comfortable before you invite it or turn on automatic joining.
Step 3: Add Claude to the meeting. Choose the call on the Meetings page. Claude joins as a participant and posts a notice in the meeting chat.
Step 4: Ask and build during the call. Ask Claude questions aloud or in the chat, or ask it to start a document while the discussion is fresh:
Claude, draft a one-page project plan from what we have agreed so far, with owners and dates, and flag anything we have not decided.
Step 5: Review before you leave. Look at what Claude built while everyone is still in the call, so people can correct it on the spot.
Step 6: Find the notes afterward. The notes, transcript, action items and documents wait on a meeting page in Claude. Check them before you share them or act on them.
A CODO prompt for the follow-up
The notes are only half the job. Use this prompt, built with our CODO framework, to turn any transcript into decisions, owners and a follow-up message. Replace the bracketed parts. Review the follow-up before you send it, and send it yourself.
Character: You are an experienced chief of staff who turns meeting transcripts into clear follow-up. Objective: I am the [role] at [company]. Turn the attached transcript of [meeting name] into a post-meeting package I can act on today, for [the people who attended]. Do: - Separate real decisions from things that only sounded like agreement. - Use speaker names from the transcript for action items, and flag any item without a clear owner. - Give every action item an owner, a next step and a deadline, and flag dates nobody actually stated. - Keep it skimmable, with short headers and bullets. Don't: - Don't invent anything that is not in the transcript. If the transcript is thin, say so. - Don't bury open questions. They are often the most valuable part. Output: A post-meeting package with five sections: a 3 to 4 sentence summary, decisions made, action items, open questions, and a follow-up message I can review and send myself.

What will your IT and legal teams ask?
- Do participants know Claude is there? Yes. Claude appears in the attendee list and announces itself in the meeting chat.
- Who can turn it on? Owners and admins control it for the organization.
- Is our data used for training? Anthropic does not train its models on Team and Enterprise data by default.
- What is kept? The meeting page in Claude saves the transcript, notes and action items, but not the audio.
Claude Meetings or another meeting assistant?
Claude Meetings is the most ambitious option, because it works on the output during the call. It is also the newest, so expect changes during the beta.
For notes on Google Meet without a Claude plan, Gemini in Google Meet is built in. On Teams, use Copilot in Teams, and across platforms, Granola. Our overview of AI meeting assistants compares all five options.
Key takeaways
- Check your plan: Team or Enterprise, on Google Meet.
- Tell people before you invite Claude.
- Ask Claude to build while the discussion is fresh.
- Review in the call, so people can correct it.
- Expect changes while it is in beta.
