About Amazon Chime

Amazon Chime is a cloud-based communication solution which is designed to simplify the process of organizing & conducting online meetings, voice calls, video calls and conferences. Users can also record calls, share files, and chat in real-time through the apps for iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac OSX.

Amazon Chime automatically calls participants to join meetings, with participants able to join meetings with a single tap, or let other users know that they are running late. Personalized meeting URLs can be created and used when scheduling meetings in advance, or to start instant meetings. The visual roster which gives users insight into who is present in the meeting, who has marked themselves as ‘running late’, and who is unavailable, removing the need for roll calls. Users can also view which audio feed is responsible for any background noise, and any participant can mute individual audio feeds. All participants can share their screen in a meeting, without needing to request permission, and remote control of screens can be enabled for collaboration. Participants can dial in using a standard phone line from over 70 countries, and view shared content on supported web browsers. Meetings can be recorded, including voice, video, and any shared content, with recordings stored in the cloud.

Amazon Chime also includes instant messaging, allowing users to chat with other people within or outside their organization, individually or in groups. Notifications are automatically generated for new messages, and users can view whether their sent messages have been delivered or read. Files can be attached to conversations to be shared with all participants, and searchable chat histories are automatically synchronized across devices. Chat Rooms can also be created to enable multiple users to collaborate on projects, with @mentions to direct messages to specific participants.

    Chime - It had lots of bugs and we were unable to use

    Reviewed on 2020/01/07

    Pros

    Since we were using AWS, it was completely integrated with our work environment.

    Cons

    It was one of the worst conferencing tool we have used. It used to crash during call and sometimes used to hog all the cpu resources. Mostly everyone complained not able to join the meeting on time as the software didn't launch the meeting.

    Amazon Chime is accessible on any smartphone, and your conferences and chats are indeed synced so you can keep in contact. Amazon Chime has been added to our squad as a coordinated approach for performing audio/video interviews, speaking, exchanging files and videos, and even approaching people outside our company. And it has benefited us a lot.

    Pros

    With Amazon Chime, users can easily hold video conferences, call, conversation, and share files, in and around their company. Amazon Chime is perfect when you have users outside the enterprise to link to the device and not need majority of the program to be downloaded. This is a good touch so even individuals inside the company can have this option if they're using a device outside their usual computer.

    Cons

    The Amazon Chime isn't really user-friendly. Groups we have conferences with who've never accessed Amazon Chime frequently have trouble connecting to call, particularly when the call is foreign. You've to install Amazon Chime to display your computer screen. Often the program may be slow to respond, and updates end up taking some minutes to synchronize across devices.

    Rewev of Amazon chime

    Reviewed on 2022/03/15

    Pros

    What do you like excellent?

    I did just like the sidebar panel that displayed all the users gift in the call. The display and characteristic turned into beneficial. That is set the handiest aspect that I liked higher about Chime than different comparable gear.

    Cons

    system for video conferencing (possible Chime just 'suffered' from being the Nth one instead of the 1st or second)

    Also it felt like each time it routinely had people be a part of with their microphone on but without pre-warning customers of that so humans much more likely to purpose interruptions.

    For the primary element even though, it really works like some other video conferencing platform but small things make it my least preferred.

    What troubles are you fixing with the product? What advantages have you ever realized?

    It become beneficial for while we had conferences with Amazon information and Redshift teams as virtually that is the inner device of choice for Amazon. Other than for those meetings with Amazon teams, there was little need case for us for Chime above & past Zoom or Meet.
