Getting started with Amazon Chime - Amazon Chime

The topics in this section explain how to start using version 5 of Amazon Chime. You have the following options:

  • The desktop client – If you use Windows or macOS devices, your employer allows you to install software, and you have a reliable network connection, use the Amazon Chime desktop client.

  • The web app – If you can't install software, or if you run Linux, you can still use Amazon Chime in a supported browser.

  • The mobile app – For mobile work, you can install the app on supported Android and iOS devices.

Review the following topics in the order listed. They assume that you're new to Amazon Chime. If you already use Amazon Chime, you can skip the first three sections, because the desktop client and the mobile app notify you about updates, and we always keep the web app up to date. For more information about updating the clients, see Understanding automatic updates.
