Creating chat rooms

The steps in this section explain how to use the Amazon Chime desktop client and web app to create chat rooms.

You can create as many chat rooms as you need. When you create a chat room, you automatically become the administrator. For information about administering a chat room, see Administering chat rooms, later in this topic.

  1. In the desktop client, on the navigation bar, choose Rooms.

  2. In the View all chat rooms dialog box, choose Create a chat room.

  3. In the Create a chat room dialog box, enter a name for the chat room, then choose Create.

  4. In the Add members to name of new chat room dialog box, select one or more contacts, then choose Add.

To create a chat room (web app)
