  "account": "Claude, an AI assistant, can now join video calls as a visible participant and assist during meetings. This feature, Claude Meetings, is currently in beta for Team and Enterprise plans. During a meeting, team members can ask Claude questions verbally or in chat, which it answers in writing. Claude can also use connected tools with team members' permission to build documents, whiteboards, or other artifacts live during the call, while teammates refine them. Claude writes notes and action items, eliminating the need for someone on the call to do so.\n\nFor instance, if a team is planning a customer event and Claude is on the call, they can be instructed to start a document for the plan. Claude will write up the current discussion, and teammates can edit it in real-time. When discussing the budget, Claude can look up last year's event cost, post it in the chat, and compare it to the current plan. During timeline discussions, someone might ask Claude to put it on a whiteboard, and the team can collaborate on the schedule alongside the doc.\n\nBefore the meeting ends, someone might ask Claude to share a recap with the team. After the call, all notes, action items, plans, and whiteboards will be available on the meeting's page in claude.ai. Later, you can revisit past meetings and ask Claude about them or add them to future meetings directly from your calendar in claude.ai.\n\nClaude also partners with tools like Gong, Attention, Granola, Fireflies.ai, Otter, and Plaud, allowing you to send meeting transcripts to your existing tools. A separate page for each meeting is created in claude.ai, containing notes, the transcript, and anything Claude built. Organization members on the invite can view and edit Claude's creations on the page, and it can be shared with others within the organization.\n\nBy default, Claude stays out of calls when someone from outside the organization is invited, and leaves if someone joins partway through. However, an admin can allow Claude on calls with external guests, which notifies the user and includes the external guest's input in the notes and transcript. Claude uses each person's connected tools with their permission and asks for confirmation the first time an answer is requested. Support is available for Google Meet, with other platforms coming soon.\n\nClaude's beta is currently limited to some organizations, particularly those with zero data retention (ZDR), HIPAA-ready configuration, or customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK). During the beta, Claude's notes and transcripts are free on Team and Enterprise plans, as are its answers in calls, unless an answer utilizes one of your connected tools, which counts toward your plan's usage. Docs, whiteboards, and other artifacts Claude creates during a call are free through February 10, 2027.",
