#2Interesting that they are still supporting the Chime SDK: https://aws.amazon.com/chime/chime-sdk/
Not sure I'd want to build on that shaky foundation, though.

I think things like the Slack conference call integration depend on this. In fact that’s the only use outside of the official client I’m aware of.

They are just killing the client software part. But the infrastructure part remains. I think it’s not a bad move. Chime app was rather clunky and had no updates.

#5Chime was pretty basic, but it worked, and it had a few killer features that are not available in the primary alternatives like Teams or Zoom.
Chime can autodial you when the meeting starts, which is life-changing if you haven't experienced it. We all know we have a meeting at 2pm, Outlook reminds you 15min before, but then at 1:58pm you get nerd-sniped and suddenly at 2:11pm you realize you're late! With Chime the the meeting launches automatically with Accept/Decline options, usually 1min before the meeting actually starts.
Chime also allows a meeting to start before (or even without) the host attending. How often have you had a meeting scheduled by senior leader, then they get pulled away and everyone is stuck in the virtual waiting room and end up coordinating/meeting in Slack instead? With Chime, the meeting starts anyway and the host can join when (if) they become available.
