As someone who recently did the remote on-site via Chime, its stability left a lot to be desired. Audio dropped regularly and constant video freezes. It felt a little half-baked and dog-fooded internally and, by extension, externally to interviewees. Nearly every person who interviewed me also expressed some unhappiness with Chime as well. This is all anecdotal, of course.

It mostly just feels like a byproduct of not-built-here syndrome.

anecdotally, having used it internally before I left. I found that VC stability top-notch, I had some stability problems using the web client, but those had mostly resolved within the few months before I left.

I now find my self yearning for the stability of Chime outside of using Zoom. and using Zoom, feel a concern for my privacy in a way I have never using an AWS product.

Meh, it's fine for 1:1 chat, but I hate it's group chat support. It's just messy and hard to manage. On the other hand, it's VC support is top notch.

I agree with that. I dislike having to start a new group chat just to add a new person.

Can't state that benefit enough. Zoom is draining right now. They shame participants into using video.

Chime's UX design really allows you to join calls without video and without the pressure.

It's great as video doesn't add much to a large conference call.
