Traditional artificial intelligence meeting assistants have largely functioned as passive post-call transcribers, recording audio streams and emailing bulleted summaries long after participants have logged off. Moving aggressively to turn conversational intelligence into an active workplace collaborator, Anthropic has officially unveiled Claude Meetings in beta. Rolled out alongside Claude Sheets, Claude Whiteboards, and general availability for Claude Data, the new tool embeds Claude directly inside live video conferences as a named participant capable of executing real-time work while teams talk. The launch also reflects Anthropic's broader governance principles documented in our Claude usage policy report, advancing interactive workplace software alongside visual tools like Claude Design.
Introducing Claude Meetings: add Claude to your team’s video call and it builds docs, whiteboards, and other artifacts with you while you’re still talking. Starting to roll out in beta on Team and Enterprise plans. https://t.co/qlZYTcXBsC

Live in-call participation: Working during the conversation
Rather than waiting until a conference concludes, Claude Meetings operates actively throughout the session. Currently supporting Google Meet with additional video conferencing platforms slated for future updates, Claude joins the call as an identifiable participant and posts a transparency notice in the meeting chat.
While team members brainstorm or review quarterly metrics, participants can prompt Claude via text chat to query connected enterprise tools like Atlassian, HubSpot, or Adobe, pull historical sales figures, or draft structured project plans on the fly, seamlessly pairing with collaborative Claude spreadsheets. claude meetings is what i’ve been working on at anthropic, super excited for this launch 🚀 as a former founder i’ve done every flavor of meeting and i can appreciate a well-run meeting with a good notetaker and productive work getting done in the meeting itself claude is here to supercharge your meetings and unlock some magical experiences with real-time collaboration 💫

Enterprise privacy guardrails and post-meeting artifacts
Once a meeting wraps up, all transcripts, generated documents, whiteboard boards, and action items are consolidated automatically onto a dedicated project page inside claude.ai for easy team review. Addressing corporate confidentiality concerns, Anthropic configured the system by default to block Claude from joining calls that include external guests outside the organization, preventing accidental data exposure.
ANTHROPIC 🔥: Claude Meetings is now available in beta on Team and Enterprise plans! During the meeting, Claude can work on documents, whiteboards, or other artifacts. Two thoughts 👀 We can finally have a call with 10 managers and one engineer (Claude) who won't complain. Now I want to get into a meeting with Claude and Grok bots to see how they interact. Yet, it is clear that Anthropic is aggressively targeting businesses and enterprises. In a few years, they may have a complete office suite served by Claude for an entire work ecosystem (speculation). https://t.co/t1X105vDnz

By placing an active AI collaborator directly inside live video calls rather than treating meetings as static audio files to summarize later, Anthropic redefines workplace productivity. Claude Meetings eliminates the dead time between team decisions and real execution, making it a compelling addition to Anthropic’s growing office suite.
