Claude Meetings Explained: How AI Can Join Your Team Video Calls
Claude Meetings is a new Anthropic feature that lets Claude join your team video calls as a visible participant and start working on tasks while people are still talking. Announced on November 10, 2026, it can draft plans, answer questions in the meeting chat and pull in information from connected work apps.
What Is Claude Meetings?
Claude Meetings brings the Claude AI assistant into a live video call. Once added, Claude follows the conversation, identifies itself as a participant and posts a notice in the meeting chat so everyone knows it is there. As your team talks, it can draft the plan being discussed, map out a timeline on a whiteboard and look up figures, such as last year's numbers, from connected apps.
After the call, the meeting notes, action items and other materials Claude created are saved in claude.ai, so the work that usually starts after everyone hangs up is already underway.
Who Can Use Claude Meetings Today?
Claude Meetings is launching in beta on Claude Team and Enterprise plans, so check which plan your business is on. At launch it works with Google Meet, and Anthropic says support for more platforms is expected to follow. For privacy, Claude will not join calls with outside guests unless an administrator allows it, and it leaves automatically if an external guest joins.
Anthropic also announced Claude Whiteboards and Claude Sheets, both in beta on paid plans. Whiteboards let a team turn a brainstorm into an organized board with timelines and deadlines, and Sheets lets a team build and edit spreadsheets, such as a campaign tracker or hiring budget, together with Claude.
How Can Small Businesses Use an AI Meeting Assistant?
An AI meeting assistant like Claude Meetings can save a small team real time. A Miami marketing agency could have Claude draft a campaign plan while the team brainstorms, or a South Florida property manager could turn a weekly call into a clear list of action items. Because notes and tasks appear right after the call, fewer details get lost.
A good first step is to try it on one low risk internal meeting, review what Claude produces and decide what your team is comfortable sharing before you roll it out more widely. AI drafts still need a human check, so review plans, numbers and action items before they go to clients.
