Good looking product, good to see the web service team start to expand the offering. Terrible sales website.
Amazon is taking over everything! Lol.
Uberconference with screen sharing ex video sharing more attractive and works well
Was excited to try this (we are in the market now because UberConference, which we otherwise love, doesn't do video and won't give us an ETA on the feature). Sadly, the in-browser experience doesn't support video. Forcing a prospective client to download an app to do a demo with us is a deal breaker.
Why do they charge for services that we can get for free?
to get business users. this will replace Zoom for a lot of people, provided Amazon's solution is more stable and has better UI. They don't want mom-n-pop audience who don't pay and is hard to please. Businesses pay a TON of money for these services, and need the best solution. Given that Amazon owns the storage, it makes sense they can do the best in live streaming.
Tried it this morning for a team meeting spanning New York, Amsterdam & Delhi & it worked really well. We'd been having troubles with Skype lately for similar calls and have to say the first time experience was really good. Will be using again for sure!
Amazon taking over the world just like Google
I like it, but clearly the pricing is for enterprise not the regular guy. I'm basing that on the inability to record without shelling out $15 per person.
I didn't like the design much.
This is pretty terrible. We tried it today and it's as bad or worse than others. Forces users to download a client to see video or shared screen and the audio/video controls are well, sub-optimal and old. Clients who are technically inept will have huge problems with this. Nice marketing video though.
