Overview
It's easy to join an Amazon Chime meeting with an Amazon Chime app. Follow the steps below.
Amazon Chime and Auto Call
When the meeting organizer invites meet@chime.aws to your meeting, Amazon Chime knows when your meeting starts, who is invited, the meeting name and the meeting duration. This enables some of what we call Amazon Chime magic:
- Since we know what time the meeting starts, Amazon Chime starts the meeting for you. The organizer doesn't need to do anything.
- Since we know who is invited and who has Amazon Chime accounts (this is because the email address associated with your Amazon Chime account matches the one associated with your work calendar), we can "call" all their devices.
- Since we know the meeting name, we can display that on the meeting roster.
- Since we know when the meeting ends, we can automatically end the meeting if the organizer has not ended it and no one is left on the call. Don't worry, if someone is still on the call, we will not end it automatically.
The Join Process
Mobile devices receive a notification when a meeting or call is received. Swipe the notification to access the join screen. Note: iOS users may choose to enable an option to join meeting and call audio from the lock screen. See this article for more information. |
