Anthropic’s Claude can now take part in video calls through Claude Meetings. The feature makes the AI visible to other participants and gives teams a way to ask questions, record meeting details and produce follow-up materials during a call.
What Claude can do during a call
Claude can respond to questions, create documents and whiteboards, and keep track of notes and action items. Its replies are text-based by default. It can also use connected tools when it has been granted permission.
That combination makes Claude a potential participant in both the discussion and the work that follows it. A team can ask for an answer during the call, then use the AI to organize key points or turn them into a document or whiteboard. Notes and action items can help preserve the practical outcomes of a conversation.
These capabilities do not mean Claude has unrestricted access to every tool or meeting. The source says connected tools are available when permission is granted, so what the AI can do depends in part on the access it receives.
Meeting records remain available afterward
When a meeting ends, Claude’s notes, transcripts and documents are collected on a dedicated page in claude.ai. That gives participants a place to return to the material produced during the call instead of relying only on what they remember or captured themselves.
The saved materials also connect the live meeting to follow-up work. Notes and action items can serve as a record of what needs attention, while documents and whiteboards created during the conversation remain accessible afterward. The feature therefore covers more than answering questions in real time.
Privacy controls and current limits
Anthropic says privacy controls prevent Claude from joining calls with external participants by default. That default is intended to limit the AI’s presence in meetings that include people from outside an organization.
Claude Meetings is in beta for Team and Enterprise plans, and Google Meet is the only supported platform so far. Anthropic says more platforms will follow. Organizations using HIPAA or customer-managed encryption configurations cannot use Meetings yet.
For now, availability depends on both the plan and the organization’s setup. Teams considering the feature will also need to use Google Meet, and should account for the default restriction on calls with external participants.
A broader role for Claude at work
Claude Meetings adds video calls to a growing set of capabilities in the Claude app. The source also points to recently announced whiteboards and data dashboards, describing these additions as part of a gradual shift toward an all-in-one office tool.
Meetings brings that direction into a familiar workplace setting: a conversation where people ask questions, share ideas and agree on next steps. Claude can contribute text responses and generate materials within that flow, while making the resulting notes, transcripts and documents available after the call.
The beta’s limited platform support and configuration exclusions mean this is an early-stage option for some organizations. Still, its core idea is straightforward: make an AI assistant present during a meeting and let it help capture and develop the work taking place there.
