Claude Meetings is an Anthropic beta for eligible Claude Team and Enterprise organizations. It joins Google Meet as a visible participant, takes notes, and leaves a meeting page with a transcript, summary, and action items. The useful part comes after the call: check who agreed to what before sending the recap. Claude Meetings help
For a first meeting, choose a short call with a clear decision to make. Tell attendees that it will be transcribed, get their agreement, and confirm that your organization permits the meeting and its participants. Invite Claude to that call individually so you can review the workflow before deciding whether to use auto-join.
Turn a transcript into an action list
- Find the decision
- Locate the moment the team agreed to a date, plan or change.
- Check the owner
- Confirm who accepted each action and which deadlines are still tentative.
- Share the short recap
- Send the decision and the confirmed tasks to the people who need them.

Choose one meeting to try
In Claude, open Meetings, connect Google Calendar if your organization allows it, select the event, and choose Add Claude. Anthropic describes an owner-controlled rollout for Team and Enterprise. If Meetings is missing, ask your organization owner whether your plan, role, and organization settings allow the beta. Some configurations are excluded during the rollout. Setup and eligibility
During the call, Claude appears in the participant list and posts a notice. If the host receives a join request, the host can refuse it. Anthropic says the feature saves a transcript, summary, and screen descriptions. Check the policy for calls with guests before inviting it, especially if your recap will be shared outside your organization.
Turn the notes into decisions and actions
Open the meeting page from the link posted during the call or from Meetings afterward. The recap email links eligible attendees to the meeting page. Start by reading the action items, then look up the sentence in the transcript that supports each one.

| What the transcript says | What to put in the recap |
|---|---|
| “Let's publish on Thursday if legal signs off by Wednesday.” | Proposed publish day: Thursday, pending legal sign-off by Wednesday. |
| “I'll send the final copy to legal by Tuesday at noon,” Maya says. | Maya: send final copy to legal by Tuesday at noon. |
| “Someone should check the mobile signup flow.” | Open: confirm an owner and deadline for checking mobile signup. |
The three statements are a worked example. They produce one conditional plan, one confirmed task, and one question for the team. The useful distinction is whether a person accepted the action and the group agreed on the timing.
Write the recap people can act on
Use a short decision line and an action list. Put each owner's name next to an observable deliverable. Use a calendar date and time zone where the team spans locations. Keep unresolved questions together so they can be answered in one follow-up.
For the example above, you could write: “We're aiming to publish Thursday, provided Legal approves by Wednesday. Maya will send the final copy to Legal by Tuesday at noon. Please reply with an owner and due date for the mobile signup check.” Verify the planned date before adding it to a project tracker. Keep the rest of the transcript in the meeting page under the permissions your organization uses.
Decide what goes to external guests
Anthropic documents separate organization and individual settings for meetings with outside guests. When enabled for those calls, Claude can listen and take notes. Guests do not get the internal meeting page or recap email. If an external participant needs a decision or task, agree on an approved summary and share that summary separately. Avoid copying the internal transcript into another editing tool.
Frequently asked questions
Is Claude Meetings available on a personal Free plan?
Anthropic describes the beta as rolling out to eligible Team and Enterprise organizations. Check your organization settings for access.
How do I keep Claude from joining every call?
Turn off auto-join from Claude Settings → Capabilities → Meetings. Then add Claude to the Google Calendar event you want it to attend.
Can external guests open the transcript?
Anthropic says outside guests do not get the internal meeting page or recap email. Follow your organization’s sharing policy to send approved notes.
What if an action item has no owner?
Put it under open questions. Ask the team who will take it and when it is due before moving it to the action list.
What should I check if the recap sounds too certain?
Find the original phrasing in the transcript and restore conditions such as “if approved” or timing such as “targeting Thursday.”
