4️⃣Canceling meetings

Canceling recurring meetings that continue to auto call

To cancel a recurring meeting.

2. There's a list of ongoing and upcoming meetings (meetings that start in the next 30 minutes).
    
3. Choose the Delete meeting series after selecting a meeting that you hosted.
    
4. Confirm the deletion when asked.
    
5. Amazon Chime will end the meeting for all attendees if the meeting has already begun. There will be no auto-calls for subsequent recurring series meetings for the host and invited guests.

5️⃣Scheduling best practices

Here are some useful recommendations to follow when setting up meetings, regardless of whatever app you use to schedule your Amazon Chime meeting.

😍Creating the personalized link

When you sign up for an Amazon Chime account, you'll be given a 10-digit Personal Meeting ID. You may create a personalized link by selecting Add Personalized Link under your name to make it easier for guests to join your meetings.

😍Helping mobile users join your meeting

Copy and paste the One-click Mobile Dial-in into the Location area of your meeting invite when inviting mobile users. They can choose the string to dial in automatically and enter the Personal Meeting ID when the calendar reminder for the meeting shows on their mobile devices.

😍Using auto-call

Amazon Chime can use auto-call to contact all attendees when your meeting starts on all registered devices. You and your participants do not need to keep an eye on the calendar to attend the meeting.

Make sure meet@chime.aws is invited to your meeting before using auto-call.

😍Inviting a distribution list

If you want to avoid inviting individual users one by one to a weekly or monthly meeting with a large team or department, schedule the meeting with meet@chime.aws, then delete meet@chime.aws.

Attendees can manually enter their PIN by opening the meeting link in the instructions, selecting Meetings, Joining a Meeting, and entering the PIN manually.

😍Changing meeting details

Remember to select Send Updates to All when changing meeting information.

6️⃣Rescheduling a meeting when the host leaves

When meeting hosts leave their organizations, their accounts are suspended by an administrator or a system like Active Directory, and their meetings become inactive.

When this happens, auto-calling stops operating. However, recurring and individual meetings may still appear in your calendar app.

You also can't use a prior host's meeting ID or generate a new meeting bridge ID for an existing meeting. The meeting must be rescheduled. Take the following steps:

1. Use your calendar app to cancel the meeting if the previous host made you a delegate. Go to step 2 if you aren't a delegate.
    
2. Make a new meeting and schedule it. Then, invite the people who attended the previous meeting. You can either host the meeting yourself or have someone else do it.

7️⃣Collaborating using Amazon Chime chat

You have two options for chatting with Amazon Chime: Amazon Chime chat and in-meeting chat. See Using in-meeting chat for more information on using the chat in meetings.

You can chat with coworkers one-on-one, in a group, or in a chat room with Amazon Chime. You can exchange up to 50-megabyte attachments, search contacts, discussions, and chat rooms across all devices, and read conversations.

You can go to Recent Messages to see the most recent one-on-one and group messages from the previous seven days or All Messages to see your entire chat conversation history. To keep track of essential threads, use Favorites.
