When you add contacts, you're adding other registered Amazon Chime users. You can invite colleagues from outside of your company account, but they must have their own Amazon Chime accounts, or they must create them.
Typically, you keep your contact list manageable by adding just the colleagues that you interact with the most.
The following steps explain how to use the desktop client and web app to add contacts.

On the navigation bar, choose Contacts(
