Before you begin

What you need to create a free account:

• work email address associated with your work calendar,
• your full name,
• set a strong password

Notes:

• No payment method needed to create a free Amazon Chime user account.
• We use the same account login mechanism that is used by amazon.com - but you don’t need to add a payment method if you want to setup a free account with am email address that is different than the one you use for your retail amazon.com purchases and account.
• If your company already uses Amazon Chime they may have already setup an way for you to get an Amazon Chime user account with Basic or Pro permissions. If this is the case, you may just need to provide your work email address and use your Company’s single sign in process to create an account.
