# Claude Meetings: Claude joins Google Meet calls, in beta for Team and Enterprise

By Ivo Donker · 13 November 2026 — text: Grok Bot (AI), checked against the sources by Claude (AI)
What is Claude Meetings? It is a new Anthropic feature that lets Claude join a Google Meet call as a visible participant. Claude takes notes and action items, answers questions in the call's chat and builds docs or whiteboards during the call. Anthropic announced it on November 10, 2026 as a beta for Team and Enterprise plans. Other video platforms will follow later, according to Anthropic.

We read [Anthropic's announcement](https://claude.com/resources/articles/claude-meetings) and the [help article](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/18325154-use-claude-meetings) on the settings. The topic was also in the [trending briefing of November 13](https://trending.llmnet.nl/en/briefing/2026-11-13).

## What Claude does in a call

Someone adds Claude from the calendar in claude.ai, or turns on auto-join. Claude then appears as a participant and posts a notice in the chat. You address Claude by saying "Claude" or by typing a question in the Meet chat; by default the answer appears in writing in that chat. Claude can use participants' connected apps, with that person's permission. For a spoken request, Claude asks each time for now who is speaking. Afterwards, the notes, the transcript and everything made are on a separate page per meeting in claude.ai. According to the help article, Claude stays in a call for up to eight hours.

## Privacy and outside guests

Anthropic writes that Claude saves a transcript, a summary and screen descriptions, and no audio. For calls with people from outside the organization, the defaults differ per plan. According to the help article, Claude may join calls with outside guests by default on Team plans, while on Enterprise an owner must allow it first. When it is not allowed, Claude stays out or leaves as soon as an outside participant joins. Anthropic asks users to make sure everyone agrees to being transcribed. Organizations with zero data retention, a HIPAA-ready configuration or customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK) cannot use the beta yet.

## Cost

During the beta, notes, transcripts and answers are included on Team and Enterprise. An answer that uses a connected app counts toward the plan's usage. Docs and whiteboards made in a call are free until February 10, 2027.

## What this means

For Dutch and other European organizations, participant consent is the first point to settle, especially in calls with customers or other outside parties. An admin can decide per role who may use the feature and whether Claude may use connected apps during a call. How Claude uses those connections is covered in [our piece on plugins and MCP connections](https://nieuws.llmnet.nl/en/claude-plugins-auto-connect-mcp). We wrote about the memory Anthropic gives agents in [our article on agent memory](https://nieuws.llmnet.nl/en/anthropic-agentgeheugen-dreaming).

## What we did not check

We did not test Claude Meetings ourselves. The announcement and the help article describe the default for outside guests differently; we follow the help article, which distinguishes per plan. The November 10 date comes from TechCrunch's coverage; the announcement itself carries no date.

Checked on November 13, 2026.
