Creating elastic channels for Amazon Chime SDK meetings - Amazon Chime SDK

You use the ElasticChannelConfiguration field in the CreateChannel API to create an elastic channel. Once you create an elastic channel, you create channel memberships.

Note

  • For non-elastic channels, the AppInstanceUser that creates the channel is automatically added to that channel as a member and moderator. For elastic channels, the channel creator is only added as a moderator.

  • You can't update an ElasticChannelConfiguration once set.

  • You can't update a channel from elastic to non-elastic and vice-versa.

  • You can't include a list of member ARNs in a CreateChannel API request. However, you can include a list of moderator ARNs.

  • You can't create an UNRESTRICTED type elastic channel.
