An hour-long team call on Google Meet, and someone has to write down who is doing what. Since 12 November 2026, Claude can do it. That day Anthropic opened Claude Meetings in beta, a feature that brings its assistant into a video call as a visible participant. It takes notes, writes a summary, pulls out action items and answers questions asked during the call. Two days earlier, when Anthropic added spreadsheets and whiteboards to Claude, this feature was listed as coming soon with no date.
Inside the call
Claude joins like any other participant, and everyone sees it in the list. By default it answers in writing. Mid-meeting you can ask it to build a document, a whiteboard or a slide deck. It reaches into apps you have connected only when you allow it. When the call ends, claude.ai holds a page for the meeting with the notes, summary, action items, transcript and anything built during it.
It can stay in a call for up to eight hours and warns you before it leaves. It keeps a transcript, a summary and descriptions of what was shown on screen. It does not keep the audio.
Google Meet only, team plans only
For now the feature works with Google Meet alone. Zoom and Microsoft Teams are not supported, and Anthropic says other platforms are coming soon, without a date.
The plan matters too. Claude Meetings is rolling out on Team and Enterprise plans only. Pro and Max subscribers do not get it, and neither does the free plan. On Team it is on by default and the owner can switch it off. On Enterprise the owner turns it on for all or part of the organization.
| Plan | Price per seat per month | Minimum |
|---|---|---|
| Team, standard seat, billed annually | $20 | 2 seats |
| Team, standard seat, billed monthly | $25 | 2 seats |
| Enterprise, billed annually | $20 plus usage at API rates | 20 seats |
Team covers groups of 2 to 150 people. A one-person business would pay for two seats, which comes to $40 to $50 a month before tax.
Free until February
During the beta, notes and transcripts cost nothing on Team and Enterprise. Claude's answers in the call are free as well, unless an answer uses a connected app, in which case it counts toward the plan's usage limit. Documents, whiteboards and other files it builds in a meeting are free through 10 February 2027. Anthropic has not said what they will cost after that.
Why it stays out of client calls
This is the catch for freelancers and consultants. By default Claude will not join a call that includes a guest from outside the organization, and it leaves if one joins. Anyone whose calls are mostly with clients needs the account owner to allow outside guests in the settings. Even then, Claude posts a notice in the call's chat that it is present, and does not reply there.
Anthropic asks users to make sure everyone on the call agrees to be transcribed before adding Claude. Organizations set up with zero data retention, a HIPAA-ready configuration or their own encryption keys cannot use it during the beta, and some other organizations will not see it yet either.
Availability in Israel and other languages
Israel is on Anthropic's list of supported countries, and no official page limits Claude Meetings to a particular market, so a Team subscriber in Israel or anywhere else on that list should see it as the rollout reaches them. The help pages do not say which languages the transcript understands, and Hebrew is not mentioned. If your meetings are not in English, check the transcript of a first call before you rely on the summary.
For a small team that already meets on Google Meet, an internal planning call with a partner or an employee is the natural place to try it. A summary like that can be the starting point for a price quote after an internal working session. The document that goes to the client is still worth reading before it is sent.
