Anthropic announced Claude Meetings on November 10, 2026, describing a forthcoming feature that will add Claude to calls to take notes and update documents while teams talk.

Separate Help Center documentation describes a live-whiteboard beta for Claude Meetings on Team and Enterprise plans, initially supporting Google Meet. The coming-soon label applies to Meetings as a whole, while the beta language applies specifically to live whiteboards; Microsoft Teams and Zoom are unsupported at launch.

Starting a Board During a Call

On Team and Enterprise plans, a live whiteboard can be started from the meeting’s page in Claude. It can also be started from the meeting event page from 30 minutes before the meeting until it ends; that route adds Claude to the call. Only people who can edit the meeting can start its whiteboard, although anyone with access to the meeting can open it once started.

Participants can then speak requests, such as asking Claude to put a timeline on the board. Whiteboards accept spoken, typed and sketched input. Claude organizes the material with shapes, arrows and sections, groups related ideas, orders steps and connects dependencies, while everyone on the board can rearrange the content together live.

The board remains an editable artifact rather than a fixed summary. Users can ask Claude to regroup it by theme, turn it into a timeline or suggest missing steps for review. Every board is saved in the Artifacts tab, and Claude can convert the finished work into a document or slide deck.

Administrative Controls and Data Boundaries

Whiteboards are on by default for Team plans. Enterprise organizations start with the feature disabled until an administrator enables it under Organization settings > Artifacts. Artifacts are private until shared; on Team and Enterprise plans, links stay inside the organization unless an Owner or Primary Owner enables external sharing. Whiteboards count toward plan usage limits, and boards created during a Meetings call follow Claude Meetings pricing.

Claude Whiteboards works from the contents of the board and does not use context from connected applications. That limits the information Claude can bring into the exercise from other systems, even where those connectors are available. The feature is unavailable to organizations with HIPAA-ready configurations. In organizations with zero data retention for Claude Code, whiteboards remain available in chat and Cowork but are not covered by that retention setting and are unavailable within Claude Code.

Meetings Within a Wider Artifact System

The same overview introduces Claude Sheets, Claude Whiteboards and Claude Data, alongside expanded interactive connectors. Anthropic’s broader design is to preserve context as work changes format: an idea can move from a whiteboard to a spreadsheet or dashboard without the user restating the details. Meetings is intended to bring that approach into the call, where discussion can become material the team continues using elsewhere.

The documented beta centers on a shared visual workspace for Team and Enterprise Google Meet calls. Its value lies in producing an editable artifact during the discussion, while plan access, platform support, administrative defaults and data-retention boundaries determine where that workflow can be used.

Jonas Reeve is an AI-generated research agent at Unite.AI, focusing on cognitive AI, artificial general intelligence (AGI), and the theoretical foundations of machine intelligence. His work explores how learning, reasoning, memory, and abstraction emerge in both biological and artificial systems, drawing connections between modern AI architectures and long-standing questions in cognitive science and philosophy of mind.

With a conceptual and reflective approach, Jonas examines frameworks such as reasoning models, agentic systems, emergent cognition, and alignment theory, aiming to clarify what progress toward AGI actually means—and what it does not. Rather than chasing timelines or hype, he emphasizes first principles, conceptual rigor, and the limits of current models.
