Amazon allows people to use Slack internally. Chime is still at least the back end for all meetings. And in practice, because Chime chat is still supported, many managers tell their teams to always keep Chime open in case someone messages them there. There’s no way to tell who is on Slack vs on Chime.

There is no difference, Slack itself tied up with AWS to use chime for their own voice/video calling [1]

In other words, Chime is to Amazon as Sametime is to IBM.

Sametime is/was great, it had all the functionality teams/Skype/slack are still working on implementing. It was just tied to a dying email client.
