Some of us may have returned to our normal office protocols, but many organizations are still relying on video conferencing and collaboration tools. Unless you’ve been living in a cave for the past few months, you may have come across one of these three platforms: Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams.

But did you know that there is a collaboration tool developed by one of the biggest tech companies – Amazon? The largest online retailer has a communication tool called Amazon Chime and if you were wondering why you haven’t heard of it yet, this post will help you figure out what it is and how it compares to the most popular web conferencing app – Zoom. Let’s get started.

Founded in 2011, Zoom is a video conferencing tool that allows users to talk to their friends, family, and colleagues via audio and video. The tool offers audio and video calling, one-on-one meetings, group conferencing, screen sharing, and virtual backgrounds.

Zoom users can record sessions, share screens with each other, and the service is easily accessible via the web, without the need for additional hardware or software.
