Starting instant meetings

Focus mode
Starting instant meetings - Amazon Chime

To start a meeting immediately instead of scheduling one in advance, you can start an instant meeting. You can start instant meetings from multiple places in the app. However, if you want to invite multiple attendees, you must start the meeting from the Meetings view.

Instant meetings provide the same controls as scheduled meetings. For more information about using those controls, see Using the Amazon Chime mobile app during a meeting.

To start in instant meeting in Meetings view
  1. On the navigation bar, choose Meetings.

  2. From the Meetings page, choose Instant.

  3. From the Instant meeting page's list of contacts, choose one or more contacts, or choose a chat room.

  4. To call the chosen contacts and start the meeting, choose Start from the upper-right corner of the app window.

To start an instant meeting in all other views
  • Choose a contact, and on the menu that appears, choose Call.

    Note

    You can also choose a chat room instead of a contact. When you do, the meeting calls all members of that room.
