Might have mixed up Chime & IVS a bit.
To clarify, the 4-5s delay I'm talking about is for IVS, which is a live streaming solution, and doesn't have anything to do with video chat.
It has a RTMP input on which you send a video stream, re-encodes it and then distribute it as an HLS stream.
And getting sub 5s latency on an HLS stream is pretty fast.
I brought up Chime and video chat mostly as an example on how AWS is pushing for RTMP to connect those services.
