Developers can now use the Amazon Chime SDK React Component Library to build higher-level components to add features like local video preview and real-time video, voice, and screen-sharing.
The Amazon Chime SDK is great for a wide range of applications including:
- Telemedicine: real-time communication within medical and healthcare-related applications
- Gaming: high-quality audio and video for multi-player applications
- Contact Centers: offer support focused teams screen-sharing and face to face video capability
- Education: give students and teachers the ability to engage through real-time audio, screen-sharing, and video capabilities without compromising in quality
- Retail: provide real-time audio and video to retail business kiosks, connect shoppers with in-store assistance by video
Developers can now leverage React’s (A JavaScript library created by Facebook) component library to enable these features with much simpler implementation within web-based applications. The library allows for client-side state management and reusable user-interface (UI) components for web interfaces used in audio and video conferencing applications.
