Anthropic has launched Claude Meetings, which puts Claude into video calls as a visible participant that answers questions and records notes. The beta is open to Team and Enterprise plans and works only with Google Meet for now.

During a call, Claude can answer questions, generate documents and whiteboards, and log notes and action items. It replies in text by default and can use connected tools once a user grants permission.

When a meeting ends, the notes, transcripts and documents Claude produced are kept on a dedicated page in claude.ai. Privacy controls keep Claude out of calls with external participants by default.

Anthropic says more platforms will follow Google Meet. Organizations that run HIPAA or customer-managed encryption configurations cannot use Meetings yet. The feature extends whiteboards and data dashboards recently added to the Claude app.

## Why it matters if you build agents

Developers building meeting assistants can now test Claude as a participant that takes notes and uses connected tools, with permissions controlled by the user. Teams under HIPAA or customer-managed encryption cannot use it yet, so they need another plan. Because external participants are blocked by default, check the privacy settings before relying on it for client calls.
