Options

--meeting-id (string)

The unique ID of the meeting.

--external-user-id (string)

The Amazon Chime SDK external user ID. An idempotency token. Links the attendee to an identity managed by a builder application.

Pattern: [-_&@+=,(){}\[\]\/«».:|'"#a-zA-Z0-9À-ÿ\s]*

Values that begin with aws: are reserved. You can't configure a value that uses this prefix.

--capabilities (structure)

The capabilities (audio , video , or content ) that you want to grant an attendee. If you don't specify capabilities, all users have send and receive capabilities on all media channels by default.

Note

You use the capabilities with a set of values that control what the capabilities can do, such as SendReceive data. For more information about those values, see .

When using capabilities, be aware of these corner cases:

  • If you specify MeetingFeatures:Video:MaxResolution:None when you create a meeting, all API requests that include SendReceive , Send , or Receive for AttendeeCapabilities:Video will be rejected with ValidationError 400 .
  • If you specify MeetingFeatures:Content:MaxResolution:None when you create a meeting, all API requests that include SendReceive , Send , or Receive for AttendeeCapabilities:Content will be rejected with ValidationError 400 .
  • You can't set content capabilities to SendReceive or Receive unless you also set video capabilities to SendReceive or Receive . If you don't set the video capability to receive, the response will contain an HTTP 400 Bad Request status code. However, you can set your video capability to receive and you set your content capability to not receive.
  • When you change an audio capability from None or Receive to Send or SendReceive , and if the attendee left their microphone unmuted, audio will flow from the attendee to the other meeting participants.
  • When you change a video or content capability from None or Receive to Send or SendReceive , and if the attendee turned on their video or content streams, remote attendees can receive those streams, but only after media renegotiation between the client and the Amazon Chime back-end server.

Audio -> (string)

The audio capability assigned to an attendee.

Video -> (string)

The video capability assigned to an attendee.

Content -> (string)

The content capability assigned to an attendee.

Shorthand Syntax:

Audio=string,Video=string,Content=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "Audio": "SendReceive"|"Send"|"Receive"|"None",
  "Video": "SendReceive"|"Send"|"Receive"|"None",
  "Content": "SendReceive"|"Send"|"Receive"|"None"
}

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)
