What works

Each part of the service, checked from Syria.

Core useWorks

Amazon Chime worked from Syria in the web app: a chat room was created and a contact was added. Starting a new meeting was refused with Amazon's end-of-support notice. Amazon applies that limit worldwide as it ends support for Chime, so it is not a restriction on Syria.

Landing pageWorks

The Amazon Chime product page on the AWS website opened normally from Syria, including its getting-started instructions.

Sign-upWorks

A new Amazon Chime account was created from Syria. The sign-in and sign-up screen opened in the web app and in the Android app, and the new account was then used to sign in.

Sign-inWorks

Signing in to Amazon Chime worked from Syria in the web app, and the sign-in screen also opened in the Android app. After sign-in, the account's home view loaded with its chat rooms and contacts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Partly. The core use of Amazon Chime works in Syria, but something else about it fails or has not been checked. This page lists what works and what does not.

Many international services blocked access to Syria due to previous sanctions and compliance policies. Even as sanctions are being reviewed, some companies have not yet restored access. Unblock Syria tracks these services and advocates for change.
