Using chat rooms

Using chat rooms - Amazon Chime

The topics in this section explain how to create and use chat rooms. You can create a chat room whenever you need to collaborate with a group of people, usually for ongoing issues or projects. You can invite any number of users to your chat rooms, and users can join any number of chat rooms.

Note

To comply with data retention policies, Amazon Chime doesn't allow you to delete chat rooms. Instead, you hide chat rooms to remove them from the sidebar. For more information, see Hiding a chat room from the sidebar, in this section.

Unless otherwise noted, the steps in the following sections apply to the desktop client and web app.
