Amazon Chime SDK
The Amazon Chime SDK is a set of real-time communications components that developers can use to quickly add audio, video, and screen sharing capabilities to their own web or mobile applications. Developers can leverage the same communication infrastructure and services that power Amazon Chime, an online meetings service from AWS, and deliver engaging experiences in their applications. For instance, they can add video to a health application so patients can consult with doctors on health issues remotely, or audio to a company website so customers can quickly connect with sales. By using the Amazon Chime SDK, developers can help eliminate the cost, complexity, and friction of creating and maintaining their own real-time communication infrastructure and services.
