Anthropic brings Claude to Google Meet for work during meetings

Anthropic is launching Claude Meetings, a feature that lets teams invite Claude to Google Meet and ask it to prepare documents, create collaborative boards and find information during a conversation. Participants can edit materials with Claude without waiting for the meeting to end. The beta is available to Claude Team and Enterprise subscribers; Google Meet is the only supported platform so far. Notes, transcripts and most responses during calls are free during the beta. Documents, boards and other materials Claude creates will be free to use until February 10, 2027.

Anthropic brings Claude to Google Meet for collaboration during meetings

How Claude works during a meeting

Claude appears in the participant list and introduces itself in the meeting chat. Participants can ask it a question aloud or send one in the chat. By default, Claude responds with text, and participants can review and edit the work it has started while the discussion continues.

In Anthropic’s example of planning an event, the team asks Claude to put together a plan based on the conversation. When participants turn to the budget, Claude asks for permission to check the company’s event expenses from the previous year, then posts the amount in the chat and compares it with the current plan. The team can also ask Claude to show a schedule on a board and change it during the meeting.

This format could be useful in an internal product-launch meeting where marketing and engineering need to agree on dates and handoffs, or in a budget discussion where the team needs to find an earlier expense estimate and work out what has changed. Dates, amounts and assignments can be clarified while people who can confirm them are still on the call.

After the meeting, Claude creates a page with notes, an action list, a transcript and materials prepared during the call. Colleagues in the organization who were invited to the meeting can open and edit the page; it can also be shared with other employees. Users can ask Claude follow-up questions about meetings they attended.

Anthropic is working with Gong, Attention, Granola, Fireflies.ai and Otter on the ability to send meeting transcripts to those services.

How the feature differs from Google and Microsoft tools

Google Meet already offers note-taking with Gemini on eligible plans. Ask Gemini in Meet lets individual participants privately request a summary or list of decisions during a call. Facilitator in Microsoft Teams supports shared notes in real time and can prepare a Word document using meeting content, chat and shared files.

Anthropic offers teams working in Meet a shared workspace: participants can ask Claude to put together a plan or sketch out a schedule, then edit the result together during the discussion.

Claude Meetings pricing

A paid Claude subscription is required to use the feature. According to Anthropic’s pricing page, a standard Claude Team seat costs $20 per month with annual billing or $25 with monthly billing. The published Enterprise price is $20 per seat per month with annual billing; the minimum order is 20 seats, and usage is billed at API rates.

Under the beta terms, notes, transcripts and responses during calls are free. If Claude uses a connected tool, that work counts toward the customer’s plan usage. Anthropic has not yet said how much documents, boards and other materials created during meetings will cost after February 10, 2027.

Access and data retention settings

Team subscribers can invite Claude by default unless an administrator has disabled the feature. Enterprise administrators must enable it themselves and can make it available to the whole organization or only certain users. Claude can be added to an individual meeting or set to join automatically.

The beta is unavailable to some organizations, including those using zero data retention, Anthropic’s HIPAA-ready configuration or customer-managed encryption keys.

By default, Claude does not join meetings whose invitations include someone from outside the organization, and it leaves if an external guest joins later. Administrators can allow Claude to attend such calls. In that case, Claude announces that it has joined in the meeting chat but does not post its responses there. Guests’ remarks are still included in the notes and transcript.

Anthropic says Claude retains the meeting transcript, a summary and descriptions of what appeared on screen; audio is not included in this record. The company asks teams to make sure everyone agrees to transcription before inviting Claude or enabling automatic joining.

The first time Claude uses a connected tool, it asks the user for permission, and that permission applies to subsequent requests. If the request is made aloud, Claude checks who is speaking each time. In internal meetings, Claude’s chat responses are visible to all participants, including information retrieved from one participant’s connected tools.

Dataist’s take: Claude Meetings moves work on plans and notes into the video call, but the transcript includes external guests’ words even if they did not invite Claude. The cost of materials created after February 10, 2027 has not yet been announced, and feature availability depends on the plan and the organization’s settings.
