How do Amazon Chime SDK and Jitsi compare? And what does Video SDK offer?
AWS Chime

is a set of real-time communication components provided by AWS that enables developers to integrate audio calling, video calling, and chat features into their applications. Amazon Chime SDK provides seamless online meetings and interactive live-streaming experiences in web and mobile apps.
Jitsi

Jitsi

is a free and open-source platform that simplifies video conferencing. It offers a user-friendly experience without the need for downloads or plugins, making it an excellent option for those seeking a straightforward live video solution without significant investment.
How Video SDK make a difference
AWS Chime and Jitsi are potential video SDKs. Jitsi stands out as an open-source developer based SDK, while Chime is backed by AWS' cloud infrastructure and enterprise support.

Video SDK transforms. Single SDK, few-min integration, full video/voice/live streams, and collaboration. Compare AWS Chime vs Jitsi and discover Video SDK, a compelling alternative!
