Big Idea

The argument in one line.

Claude Meetings turns an AI note taker into a live, visible teammate that answers questions and builds docs and whiteboards during the call, not just a transcript afterward.

Who This Is For

Read if. Skip if.

READ IF YOU ARE…
  • You run internal team meetings on Google Meet and want to know whether Claude can replace a separate AI note taker like Granola.
  • You're on a Claude Team or Enterprise plan and want to know what the beta does before you switch it on for your organization.
  • You're an admin or team lead who needs the privacy rules for outside guests, audio storage, and visibility straight before approving it.
SKIP IF…
  • You're on a Free, Pro, or Max plan. The feature is not available to you yet, and the creator has not tried it himself.
  • You run your calls on Zoom or Teams. Only Google Meet is supported for now.
TL;DR

The full version, fast.

Claude Meetings adds Claude to your video calls as a visible participant. Say Claude plus a request, or type it in the meeting chat, and it answers questions, starts docs, and builds whiteboards your team can edit live while you keep talking. After the call, each meeting gets its own page with notes, action items, transcript, and anything Claude built, plus a recap email to everyone on the invite. It is in beta for Team and Enterprise plans on Google Meet only. Claude is never hidden, saves transcripts and screen descriptions but not audio, stays out of calls with outside guests unless allowed, and is free during the beta except when answers use connected tools.

Customer event example with approval-gated lookups, then whiteboards turning a launch timeline discussion into a visual plan.

04:09 – 05:37

04 · After the call, privacy, and pricing

Each meeting gets a page and recap email. Claude is visible, saves no audio, handles outside guests carefully, and is free in beta.

Atomic Insights

Lines worth screenshotting.

  • Claude Meetings is not a passive transcriber. It joins as a visible participant that your whole team can ask for things while the meeting is still running.
  • You trigger Claude by saying its name followed by a request, or by typing the request into the meeting chat.
  • Claude's tile inside Google Meet is live, so anyone can see what it is doing in real time.
  • Docs and whiteboards that Claude builds during the call can be edited by the rest of the team while the conversation continues.
  • Every meeting ends with its own page holding the notes, action items, transcript, and anything Claude built during the call.
  • Everyone on the invite from your organization gets a recap email linking to that page, where they can edit what Claude produced.
  • Claude saves a transcript, a summary, and descriptions of what was on screen, but never the actual audio or video.
  • By default Claude stays out of a call when someone outside your organization is invited, and leaves if an outsider joins partway through.
  • With outside guests present Claude only listens and takes notes. It does not reply in the chat.
  • Notes, transcripts, and in-call answers are free during the beta on Team and Enterprise, except answers that use connected tools, which count toward plan usage.
Takeaway

A visible AI teammate, not a silent recorder

WHAT TO LEARN

Claude Meetings works because Claude sits in the call as a named participant your team can talk to, and the privacy rules are built around that visibility.

  • Ask Claude out loud by name or type it in the meeting chat, and it can start a doc, run a lookup, or put a plan on a whiteboard while people keep talking.
  • Lookups that touch connected tools need approval first, and Claude posts the results into the chat so the whole team sees the same numbers.
  • Whiteboards fit meetings well because Claude can turn a spoken timeline into a visual plan with owners and dates the team edits together.
  • Every meeting leaves a page with notes, action items, transcript, and built artifacts, and invitees from your organization get a recap email to edit them.
  • Plan privacy around what is saved: transcript, summary, and screen descriptions are kept, audio is not, and outside guests change how Claude behaves.
  • Access is narrow for now: Team and Enterprise beta, Google Meet only, free except when answers use connected tools that count toward usage.

Anthropic just dropped Clawed Meetings, which lets you add Clawed directly inside of your video calls. First, it can answer your questions during the call. Then it can even build docs, whiteboards, and other Clawed artifacts live while you're still talking in the meeting.
And lastly, it writes up all of the notes and the action items for you. So in this video, I'm going to break down exactly what Clawed Meetings is, along with how it works, because it's unlike any other AI note taker that we've seen before. As well as I'm going to talk about who gets access to this.
This video is... going to be short and to the point. So if you enjoy that, make sure you are subscribed.
Without further ado, let's dive right in. All right, so this is the actual article from Anthropic. And the big idea here is that Claude joins your call as a visible participant.
So it's following the conversation and your whole team can ask for things while the meeting is still going. So this isn't just like a normal note taker like Granola that takes a meeting and transcribes it. This is almost like an interactive partner that you can have inside of your internal meetings.
And you can see right here that it's starting to roll out in beta on team and enterprise plan, which is a big bummer for most of us who are on the pro or max or ultra plan, whatever they want to call it now. Looks like we're not going to have access to this as of right now. However, I would imagine they're probably going to roll these out to the personal plans as well over time.
But as of right now, it's just for team and enterprise users. As of right now, it only works with Google Meet, but Anthropic says that support for other video platforms is coming soon. So I'd imagine that they're going to roll this out to other platforms.
platforms like Zoom as well. Alright, so let's talk about what this actually looks like inside of a call because I think this is the part that makes it feel really different from a normal AI note taker. Now I do want to be upfront and say that I don't have access to this yet.
So I'm just going to walk you through exactly how it works based on what Anthropic has shared from both the release article and what they posted on X. Basically, in order to ask Claude for something, you can just say Claude and then your question, or you can also type it inside of the meeting chat. So for example, you could say something like, Claude, start a doc for this plan, and then it writes up everything your team has said so far on that meeting.
So first of all, in order to add it, you go to meetings inside of Claude, you connect your Google Calendar, you select a meeting, and then you click add Claude. Once it joins, Claude shows up on the meeting as its own participant, and it posts a notice inside of the chat with a link, to the meetings page.
Now, one of the cool parts about this is the tile inside of Google Meet is actually live. So you could look at it at any point and see what Claude is doing in real time. And then anyone on the team can say, Claude, make a dock or Claude, make a whiteboard.
And the rest of the team can edit it while you keep talking. So this really does kind of feel like an interactive application that your entire team can use specific for meetings. I think that this is really cool right off the bat.
Now, I want to quickly talk about some examples that Anthropic gives us so we could get an idea of how we can use. this. Let's say your team is planning a customer event and somebody asks Claude what last year's event costs.
Claude asks for their approval to look it up. It posts the numbers inside of the chat and then it compares it to the current plan. And if you want it to stop, you can just ask it to stop listening or you can ask it to leave the call.
Now, I want to quickly talk about the whiteboard part of this because I think this is probably one of the cooler features inside of this new release. And Claude whiteboards actually just came out two days ago. Basically, a whiteboard is a shared board inside of Claude where you and your team can brainstorm together and Claude can take a messy conversation and turn it into an actual plan with a timeline, owners, and dates.
And I think this is a perfect use case for a meeting because so many things are easier to understand when you can actually see and visualize them. So for example, let's say you're on a call and you start talking through the timeline for a launch. You could just say, Claude, put this on a whiteboard.
And your whole team can work on that schedule together while you're still on the call, along with a nice visual whiteboard. I actually made a full video breaking down Claude whiteboards just two days ago. So if you want to take a look at that to see what that's all about, there will be a link in the description to check it out.
Now, once the call is over, everything lands on its own page inside of Claude. And I think this is the part that's going to save people the most time. Basically, every meeting gets a separate page with the notes, the action items, the transcript, and anything that Claude built during the call.
And everyone from your organization who was on the invite gets a recap email with a link to that page so they can go in and edit anything that Claude made. Then later on, you can go inside of a regular chat and just ask Claude about any of your past meetings. Now, moving on to privacy, and I think this is the part that every single person needs to know before they turn this on.
First of all, Claude is never hidden on a call. When it joins, it shows up as an active participant and it posts a notice inside of the call's chat. So that way, everybody knows that Claude made it.
is in there. It's also going to save a transcript, a summary, and description of what's on the screen, but it does not save the actual audio from the video. Now the part that I think is really smart is how it handles people from outside of your company.
When outside guests aren't allowed, Claude stays out of the call where somebody from outside of your organization is invited, and it will actually leave if somebody from outside joins partway through. And when Claude is on a call with outside guests, it just listens to the call and takes notes, so it doesn't actually reply inside.
of the chat like it would if it was just you and your team. Now, I want to quickly talk about pricing. During the beta, Claude's notes and transcripts are free on the team and enterprise plans, as well as its answers inside of your calls.
The one exception is when an answer uses one of your connected tools because that counts toward your specific plan's usage. Anyways, guys, I'm super excited to get my hands on this new feature, and right when I do, I'll make sure to make a video for it for you guys. Thanks for staying to end.

The Hook

The bait, then the rug-pull.

Anthropic's new Claude Meetings puts Claude inside your video calls as a visible participant. It answers questions, builds docs and whiteboards while people are still talking, and writes up the notes and action items when the call ends.
