Amazon to stop support for communications service Chime next year

Amazon’s AWS said in a blog post: “Amazon Chime is a communications service that lets you meet, chat, and place business calls inside and outside your organization, all using a single application. After careful consideration, we have decided to end support for the Amazon Chime service, including Business Calling features, effective February 20, 2026. Amazon Chime will no longer accept new customers beginning February 19, 2025. Existing customers can continue to use Amazon Chime features, including Business Calling, scheduling and hosting meetings, adding and managing users, and other capabilities supported through the Amazon Chime administration console. To qualify as an existing customer, you must have created an Amazon Chime Team or Enterprise account prior to February 19, 2025. After February 20, 2026, you will no longer be able to host Amazon Chime meetings, manage users, or use any of the Business Calling features. If you cannot delete your data prior to February 20, 2026, please reach out to us via Amazon Support for help. Note: This does not impact the availability of the Amazon Chime SDK service.”
