Our verdict
A fit for organisations already on Claude Team or Enterprise that meet on Google Meet and want Claude working during the call, not just taking notes. It is days old, limited to Google Meet and paid business plans, and no independent review of its quality exists yet.
Best for: Teams that meet on Google Meet and already pay for Claude Team or Enterprise
Skip it if: Individuals, or teams on Zoom or Microsoft Teams (not supported yet)
Pros
- Claude appears as a visible participant and posts a notice in the call chat when it joins
- Works during the call: answers questions, builds docs, whiteboards and slides, then leaves notes, action items and the transcript on a meeting page
- Keeps a transcript, summary and screen descriptions, not audio
Cons
- Beta only and Google Meet only; Anthropic says other platforms are "coming soon" but names none and gives no date
- Only on Team (2+ seats) and Enterprise (20+ seats); no individual plan and no post-beta pricing yet
All pros and cons · Who is it for?
More pros
- Owners decide who can use it, whether it may join calls with outside guests and whether it can use members' connected tools
- No extra charge during the beta for notes, transcripts and answers that don't use connected tools
More cons
- Consent is left to the organisation; on Team plans Claude may join calls with outside guests by default, and guests' words go into the transcript
- Not available to organisations with ZDR, HIPAA-ready or CMEK; the Meetings pages don't say how long transcripts are kept
Best for
- Internal meetings that need a plan or whiteboard built while people talk
Skip it if
- Organisations on ZDR, HIPAA-ready or CMEK setups: excluded from the beta
Experience & key features
What Claude Meetings is
Claude Meetings is a feature of Claude, not a separate app. Anthropic called it "coming soon" in a post dated 10 November 2026 and opened the beta with an announcement dated 12 November 2026. According to Anthropic, Claude joins a Google Meet call as a visible participant, follows the conversation and starts on work while people are still talking. It is rolling out on Team and Enterprise plans, in Claude and Claude Desktop.
How it works
Users connect Google Calendar, pick a meeting and click "Add Claude", or turn on auto-join. In the call anyone can say "Claude" and ask, or type in the Meet chat; by default Claude answers in writing in the chat. It can build docs, whiteboards and slides with the team, and use connected tools (sending a Slack message, for example) when the person asking approves. Afterwards the notes, action items, transcript and everything made sit on the meeting page, and people from the organisation on the invite get a recap email. Claude can stay for up to eight hours and warns before it leaves.
Privacy and outside guests
Claude posts a chat notice when it joins and keeps a transcript, summary and screen descriptions, not audio. Outside guests are handled by plan: Team lets Claude join by default, Enterprise does not and Claude leaves if an outsider joins. When guests are present their words are still transcribed, but they don't get the meeting page. Anthropic tells users to make sure everyone is OK with being transcribed. As of 14 November 2026 we found no reported incident or dispute involving Claude Meetings.

Pricing and alternatives
Claude Meetings is not sold on its own: it comes with Team (Standard seats $20 a month billed annually, $25 billed monthly; 2-seat minimum) and Enterprise ($20 per seat per month billed annually plus usage, 20-seat minimum). That makes it most relevant to organisations already on Claude. Anyone who only needs a meeting notetaker can look at Read AI, Otter, Fireflies or Granola, which are sold separately and have individual plans. This comparison rests on vendor descriptions, not testing.

Team (Standard seat)
Business$25/mo/user
$20/mo billed yearly
For teams of 2 to 150: $25 per seat per month billed monthly, $20 per seat per month billed annually. Claude Meetings is not sold separately; it comes with the plan. On Team, Meetings is on by default and an owner can turn it off. During the beta, notes, transcripts and answers that don't use connected tools are free; answers that use connected tools count toward the plan's usage.

Business$125/mo/user
$100/mo billed yearly
$125 per seat per month billed monthly, $100 per seat per month billed annually. Anthropic says Premium seats get 5x the usage of Standard seats, and the two seat types can be mixed. Meetings terms are the same as on Standard seats.
Enterprise
Business$20/mo/user
$20 per seat per month, billed annually, 20-seat minimum, plus usage billed at API rates. On Enterprise, Meetings is off by default: an owner turns it on for the whole organisation or for chosen roles. Notes, transcripts and answers that don't use connected tools are free during the beta.

Cancellation & refunds
The pages opened state no refund policy specific to Claude Meetings.
Privacy
Per Anthropic, Claude appears as a participant when it joins and posts a notice in the call chat. It saves a transcript, summary and screen descriptions, not audio. Each meeting gets its own page in claude.ai; people from the organisation on the invite can see the notes, edit what Claude made and share the page with others in the organisation. Defaults for outside guests differ by plan: on Team, Claude may join calls with outside guests; on Enterprise, it stays out of such calls and leaves if an outsider (including another company's notetaker bot) joins partway, unless an owner allows guests. On calls with guests, Claude still listens, takes notes and posts its notice but does not reply in chat; guests' words go into the notes and transcript, and guests do not get the meeting page or recap email. Claude uses a person's connected tools only with that person's permission (it asks once, and a yes applies going forward). Anthropic tells users to make sure everyone on the call is OK with being transcribed before adding Claude or turning on auto-join; it describes no consent step for participants. The beta is not available to organisations with zero data retention (ZDR), HIPAA-ready configuration or customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK). The pricing page says Team and Enterprise have no model training on customer content by default and that Enterprise has custom data retention controls; these are plan-wide terms, and the Meetings pages do not say how long transcripts are kept.

Frequently asked questions
Which video platforms does Claude Meetings support?
Only Google Meet for now. Anthropic says other platforms are coming soon but names none and gives no date.
Who can use Claude Meetings?
Organisations on Team (on by default, owners can turn it off) and Enterprise (an owner must turn it on). Free and individual plans don't have it. During the beta, organisations using ZDR, HIPAA-ready configuration or CMEK are excluded.
Does Claude record the meeting audio?
Per Anthropic, no: Claude keeps a transcript, summary and screen descriptions, not audio. Anthropic advises making sure everyone on the call agrees to being transcribed.
Does Claude join calls with outside guests?
It depends on the plan. On Team it can by default; on Enterprise it can't by default and leaves if a guest joins partway. Owners can change this. With guests present, Claude doesn't reply in chat, but guests' words still go into the transcript.
Does Claude Meetings cost extra?
During the beta, notes, transcripts and answers that don't use connected tools are free. Answers that use connected tools count toward usage; docs and whiteboards are free through 10 February 2027. The Team or Enterprise plan itself is still paid.

Why this score
Add Claude from the calendar under Meetings in claude.ai or turn on auto-join; to ask, say "Claude" or type in the Meet chat. An owner must first enable Google Calendar for the organisation, and on Enterprise switch Meetings on too. The sources don't say which interface languages are offered.
Why this score
Chat answers, live docs, whiteboards and slides, notes and action items, questions about past meetings, connected tools with permission. Held back by Google Meet being the only platform and by transcript export to Gong, Granola, Fireflies.ai, Otter and others being only planned.
Why this score
For organisations already on Claude Team (from $20 per seat per month billed annually) or Enterprise ($20 per seat per month plus API-rate usage, 20-seat minimum), notes and transcripts cost nothing extra during the beta. But it can't be bought on its own, it needs a full Claude plan, artifacts are free only until 10 February 2027 and post-beta pricing is not published.
Why this score
No independent test, transcription-accuracy review or user rating exists yet; the feature is days old and press coverage repeats Anthropic's description. The score reflects missing evidence, not a verdict on quality.
Why this score
A detailed Help Center article covers adding Claude, using it in calls, administration and privacy. The pages opened name no Meetings-specific support channel.
Why this score
In its favour: a chat notice, no audio kept, owner controls, and no model training on content by default on Team and Enterprise. Against it: consent is left to the organisation, Team defaults let Claude join and transcribe calls with outside guests, and the Meetings pages state no transcript retention period.
