Bluescape announced its integration with Amazon Chime SDK to enable scheduled and ad-hoc video meetings. This integration allows Bluescape customers to host and join video calls in Bluescape. They can also schedule their meetings directly through Microsoft Outlook.

“Bluescape’s integration with Amazon Chime SDK is creating a paradigm shift in video collaboration,” said Dr. S. Ann Earon, president of conferencing and collaboration consultancy TRI Inc. “Meeting in a virtual workspace is the next best thing to meeting in person.”

Never heard of Chime? Well, watch this:

Video meetings in Bluescape have been redesigned with Amazon Chime SDK to enable audio and visual improvements to video calls, multiple views of meeting participants and future capabilities. Dial-in support, meeting lobbies and virtual breakout rooms are all slated for release later this year to make Bluescape an alternative to traditional unified communications offerings.

“By providing users with a single platform for video meetings, whiteboarding and advanced content sharing, Bluescape is increasing team productivity, whether you are in a remote or hybrid environment,” said Sid Rao, general manager, Amazon Chime, AWS.

Bluescape was recently named to Fast Company’s annual list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies. The Amazon Chime SDK integration is the latest of the company’s innovations after announcing recent integrations with other enterprise cloud communication tools. Combined with other enterprise integrations including Office 365, Adobe Creative Cloud and Google, Bluescape connects workers with any type of content, no matter where they are located. The result is an experience to collaborate across applications and environments in this new era of hybrid work.
