Anthropic has introduced a new feature called Claude Meetings, which enables Claude to join video conferences as a visible participant—answering questions in real time, generating content, and taking meeting notes and action items. During meetings, Claude responds via text by default and, once authorized, can access connected tools to help with tasks. After the meeting, all outputs are saved to a dedicated page on claude.ai. To mitigate information-access risks, the feature blocks Claude from joining meetings with external participants by default. Currently, it is available only in beta for Team and Enterprise users and supports Google Meet exclusively, with plans to expand to more platforms later. Organizations using HIPAA-compliant configurations or customer-managed encryption keys cannot use it for now. This update reflects Anthropic's ongoing effort to build Claude into an all-in-one office tool, advancing its evolution from a conversational AI assistant into a work platform spanning meetings, documents, and data processing.
