Talking about the subscription charges it starts at $2.50 (approx Rs.167) per user per month. There is also a higher plan of $15 (approx Rs.1,002) per user which includes video and screen-sharing among other features. Users can also use the app for free but all the features will be limited to video calls and chat rooms between two users only.

Describing the current scenario of the video communication landscape Gene Farrell, Vice President of enterprise applications at AWS, said in a statement, "It's pretty hard to find people who actually like the technology they use for meetings today. Most meeting applications or services are hard to use, deliver bad audio and video, require constant switching between multiple tools to do everything they want and are way too expensive."
However, the new offering from Amazon looks to bridge this gap and help strengthen the video communication market as well deliver better technology that will provide a seamless user experience.
