As someone who curses FaceTime, Skype, Hangouts, Duo, BlueJeans, Zoom and Go-to-meeting on a regular basis...I'm glad Amazon is the one trying to solve this problem.

Very cool Ryan. Thanks for hunting this. I'll give it a go.

Looks amazing. Keep it up.

Super awesome, if it works. Skype's been slowly dying for a while.

Amazon conquers the online meetings market as well. Amazing. Skype for Business and other such providers seem to be sidelined by this. Nailed it Amazon.

I guess the quality of the calls will still depend on the quality of Internet connection, which was usually the case?

The difference between basic and plus is negligible especially because there is still only a max of 2 people. So realistically any serious business, which I'm assuming are the targets have no choice but to go for top tier. It's a shame that there is no middle ground as Skype allows for more than 2 and so does a lot of other free services.

Amazon can do no wrong.

Finally a serious competitor to that Microsoft ridden Skype. :)

One of my predictions for 2017: Amazon will buy Slack. Chime shows they are seriously committed to cooperative work technologies.
